Bangkok Business Pulse
- Culture Respectful and hierarchical. The "Sanuk" principle (fun) means keeping a positive and calm atmosphere.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Call between 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM or 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Always maintain a calm, polite tone ("Jai Yen"). Showing anger or impatience ("Jai Rorn") will lead to a loss of respect. Use the "Wai" (traditional greeting) if on video, and always address people with the polite title "Khun".
Tokyo Business Pulse
- Culture Consensus-based and very formal. Respect for hierarchy and "Meishi KΕkan" (business card exchange) are central.
- Lunch Break Strictly 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The most effective window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Avoid the strictly observed 12-1 PM lunch hour at all costs. Late afternoon calls (4 PM - 5:30 PM) are also acceptable, but ensure you follow formal protocols and hierarchy if multiple stakeholders are on the line.
