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.
Kuala Lumpur Business Pulse
- Culture Multicultural and professional. Values harmony and respect.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM (Longer on Fridays).
- Pro Tip Aim for 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. On Fridays, avoid the 12:30 PM - 2:30 PM window due to congregational prayers. Malaysia is multicultural (Malay, Chinese, Indian); be respectful of varying religious observances and holidays. Business is generally professional, polite, and consensus-oriented.
