The challenges for Thailand are in some ways greater than for other members due to the country's unique history and lack of colonisation leaving it with systems and processes that are more greatly removed from the rest of the community meaning a greater need to change and adapt for Thai people and businesses.
For all member countries though, and with them all the people and businesses affected, the only way to truly take advantage of the benefits of the new systems and the greater flow of people, information, trade and business that will come is by being fully prepared in advance.
Here at Pure Growth Asia, we endeavour to do two things - firstly, to find useful information and articles about AEC and related news and bring it to you via links or articles. Secondly we will assist Thai people in addressing some of the changes they will have to deal with, especially in the area of language and the use of English in dealing with other members of the AEC.
We are in no way linked to any organiser of the AEC and do not have any secret information or advantage in this process, but we hope that with your help and contributions we can all feel a little bit more prepared for 2015.
