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.
Ho Chi Minh City Business Pulse
- Culture Fast-paced, entrepreneurial, and very hardworking.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip The "Gold Window" for calls is 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Vietnamese business culture is energetic and relationship-driven; deals are often sealing during meals. Small gifts or gestures of respect are common in-person, but for virtual calls, maintain a warm, polite, and enthusiastic tone.
