Online TopThai shops give Thai SMEs access to international markets

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2022

Thai SMEs are being urged to list their products on TopThai online shops that are now available on seven platforms in nine countries.

Deputy government spokesperson Thipanun Sirichana said on Sunday that the Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP) aims to promote Thai goods via its TopThai shops that are available on Amazon in the US, Tmall in China, India’s bigbasket, Indonesia’s Blibli, Cambodia’s Klangthai as well as PChome in Taiwan and Shopee in Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines.

Small businesses interested in gaining exposure to these markets can contact DITP, the spokesperson said.

She added that Thai products on Taiwan’s PChome platform are the second most popular after Japanese products.

DITP also plans to open a TopThai shop on the PChome 24h website, which is far larger.

She said the TopThai shop on the Taiwanese platform has proved to be very effective as customers want to purchase products directly from manufacturers.
