Busan Business Pulse

- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best times for calls are 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Professionals in Busan are known for being more direct and expressive than in Seoul. The maritime and logistics sectors are very active. Hierarchy and punctuality are still strictly followed. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour.
Chiang Mai Business Pulse
- Culture Creative, relaxed, and a major hub for digital nomads and local tourism.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best reached between 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM. The vibe is more relaxed than in Bangkok, but Thai etiquette (Jai Yen, politeness) still applies. Punctuality is respected in professional settings. Be aware of the "burning season" (Feb-April) which can affect local travel and health.
