snoop1130 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 BANGKOK (NNT) - The Ministry of Commerce is going to roll out export plans for chicken and halal food for the Saudi Arabia market after the Middle Eastern state last week restored full diplomatic relations with Thailand. Phusit Ratanakul Sereroengrit, director-general of the International Trade Promotion Department, said the department and the International Trade Promotion Office in Jeddah will bring trade delegations and executives of both Saudi Arabia and Thailand together this year to seek potential export expansion and promote sales of Thai products in Saudi supermarkets. Meanwhile, the department also plans to invite Thai entrepreneurs to participate in trade exhibitions in Saudi Arabia such as the Saudi Food Expo. Mr. Phusit said the department also aims to strengthen the demand for Thai food products, halal food, industrial products, and beauty goods by promoting via online channels. According to the International Trade Promotion Department, Saudi Arabia has set "Saudi Vision 2030" a strategic framework to reduce the country’s dependence on oil, diversify its economy and develop public service sectors such as health, education, infrastructure, recreation, and tourism. With such an opportunity, Mr. Phusit said the department will keep enhancing Thai exporters’ capabilities and provide in-depth information about the overall Middle East market in order to pursue higher trade. In 2021, trade between Thailand and Saudi Arabia tallied US$7.30 billion, up 31.8% from $5.53 billion the year before. Of the total, exports from Thailand accounted for $1.63 billion and imports made up $5.66 billion. Export goods from Thailand range from automobile and parts, wood and wooden products, air conditioners and parts, rubber products, to canned and processed seafood. The imports were mainly crude oil, chemicals, fertilizer, pesticides, finished oil, and metallic minerals. Chairman of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, Sanan Angubolkul recently predicted exports to Saudi Arabia will grow to 2.2% of the total export value, up from 0.6% of total exports of $1.5 million last year. With the country’s reopening and appropriate marketing campaigns, Mr. Sanan also expects about 150,000 Saudi Arabian visitors a year, generating an income of 9 billion baht. In 2019, Thailand saw 700,000 arrivals from the Middle East, but only 36,000 were from Saudi Arabia. In addition, Saudi Arabia used to be the largest market for Thai workers in the Middle East. Between 1970 and 1980, there were an estimated 200,000 Thai workers, both legal and illegal, working in Saudi Arabia with an estimated 9 billion baht worth of income sent back to Thailand. -- © Copyright NNT 2022-01-31 - Aetna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

The Hammer2021 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Middle East tourists whilst not popular with white western farang, as evidenced by the cascade of anti Arab prejudice in this thread are important tourists the Thais. White farang enjoy the idea that they are popular and that Arabs are not welcomed, especially by the girls but this is far from the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Thai working girls all hate Arab men, or Kek, as they are derogatorily referred to. If you look on Thai dating sites many of the girls say 'no Arab' on their profiles. Not saying I agree with it, but let's not pretend it's other than it is. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what the girls tell you along with 'no like Thai man' lol Of course I know all about the myth of Thai girls not liking Arabs but in fact young Arab men are considered more handsome, white teeth, nicer complexion, more charm, nicer, sharper features, better manners,better dancers, cleaner than farang and often less drunk and smell better. Basically Thai girls find Arab men more elegant and more fun. Thai girls and Arab men dance naturally together. But there is a conceit amongst the pot bellied, beer breathed pale faces that the girls prefer farang. lol. Its a fantasy. I noticed this 17 years ago in Bahrain and it holds true here too. Believe what you wish but don't be surprised when you see the Arab lads getting all the attention in the future. We are like white gorillas to Thai girls. The bottom of the barrel when they can't get an Asian man. Edited February 1, 2022 by The Hammer2021 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to believe the common myths about Thai girls indeed as they were told to me by Thai girls but the deeper I delved and the more I observed the more I noticed the obvious. A fat, pale faced beer belly farang sitting with his mates talking footie is a lot less fun than an attentive Arab man with charm and who can dance. The girls prefer Indians to white guys which is why they charge you double what they charge Indian lads...Come down off your pedestal to understand where your are in the world of the bar girl. 555. Don't get angry at the messenger just because you don't like the message. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you eat chicken in Thailand then it's probably mainstream Halal, i.e. electrically stunned before slaughter. In fact a lot of value added chicken i.e breaded sold in the UK is Halal..
