Business Development Department to upgrade condo business standards
By English News



BANGKOK, April 10 - Thailand's Business Development Department is preparing a project to upgrade customer service standards to international level in housing developments, condominiums and apartments.

Pongpun Gearaviriyapun, department director-general, said the agency is discussing with the Thai Condominium Association and Housing Business Association to upgrade the customer service standard in the future as well as to improve the standard of asset management in Thailand for customers' utmost benefit as in the US, Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore.

The move is to prevent high competition in such businesses from overseas after the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) takes effect next year.

Property management businesses in Hong Kong, China and the Philippines have expanded to ASEAN countries, she said, and if Thai entrepreneurs do not improve their business lines, foreign entrepreneurs might find loopholes and enter the market here.

Ms Pongpun said that the ongoing political problems in general have not affected the property business, but her department will closely monitor the situation and assist entrepreneurs impacted by the political confusion. (MCOT online news)

What he is trying to say here is confusing. Is he trying to improve the customer experience with their purchased condo, ie.. building services and maintenance? Or is he saying he is recommending upgrading the marketing hype to add more marketecture,,ie..features that don't exist and never will?

here is the essence:

"Property management businesses in Hong Kong, China and the Philippines have expanded to ASEAN countries, she said, and if Thai entrepreneurs do not improve their business lines, foreign entrepreneurs might find loopholes and enter the market here."

the translation:

thai entrepreneurs suck in the moment, with little hope to change ways on their own.

so, lets try to force them some change, and in the meantime make sure those ASEAN counties dont have a fair chance in the market...

loopholes, really?

this thai concept of ASEAN being a one-way street...interesting.

The first problem to address is the culture of corruption, which is the root of all problems, before you can even claim professionalism...
