Thai Cultural Products: An Action Plan for Local Pride and Change!

In a recent meeting to monitor the progress of the Ministry of Culture, Nangsao Sabida presented exciting news about the Promotion of Thai Cultural Products (CPOT). The aim of this initiative is to redesign products and services that emerge from the rich treasure of traditional (Folk Culture) and local knowledge (Vernacular Culture) and make them competitive for the international market. In addition, the aim is to create economic opportunities for communities and strengthen their cultural heritage, which for many is a clear sign of progress and a sense of identity. According to thailandplus.tv, an action plan was drawn up today, November 10, 2025, which will apply from November 2025 to September 2026.

There are some exciting projects on the agenda in this action plan. This includes strengthening the identity of Thai cultural products as well as developing e-commerce sales channels to make these products more widely accessible. The focus is particularly on promoting basket products, which are considered traditional craftsmanship and are very popular with travelers and locals. Future actions will also include a CPOT trade fair and training to support entrepreneurs active in these areas.

Creating new awareness

Part of the effort is to spread awareness and image of the Thai cultural brand. This should happen through collaborations with well-known designers and artists who can further develop the products and thus build a bridge between tradition and modernity. Exhibitions and sales campaigns are also planned in leading shopping centers to put the products in the right light.

Additionally, the ministry plans to carry out the initiative in prominent locations such as Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports under the name “CPOT POP-UP Store”. This gives tourists and locals the opportunity to purchase authentic Thai products while experiencing the country's cultural heritage.

A culture-promoting New Year's offer

Another highlight will be the “CPOT catalog,” which will be created on the occasion of the 2026 New Year. The aim is to present Thai cultural products as gifts that reflect the pride and knowledge of the Thai people. Through these measures, the ministry aims to both boost domestic consumption and increase the profile of Thai cultural products internationally.

The Minister of Culture has emphasized that the promotion of the CPOT project plays a central role in the “Thai Thai” policy. This aims to make cultural investments and sustainably promote the economic strength of communities.

Equally interesting is the CPOT (Critical-Care Pain Observation Tool), which serves a different context but still provides relevant approaches to the discussion about managing pain and well-being in medicine. It is designed to monitor pain characteristics in critical care settings and is based on precise assessments and validation by professionals. This methodology shows how important it is to have clear and effective assessment tools in healthcare, too. You can find out more about this at mdapp.co.

And for all those who deal with the topic of questions and surveys, concepto.de is a valuable source of information. Questionnaires are not only crucial for collecting opinions and data, they also help draw individual and statistical conclusions. Clear and well-structured questions are the key to avoiding misunderstandings and gaining the information you need.

Overall, it is clear that both cultural and medical approaches in Thailand are increasingly characterized by innovative projects and methods that aim to promote the well-being of communities and take their needs into account.
