When people in Thailand think of other countries, Japan often comes first. From anime and sushi to technology and travel, Japan feels like a close friend in Thai daily life. “Made in Japan” has even become a mark of quality here.

At the same time, Thais notice the contrasts—Japanese punctuality and discipline compared to Thai flexibility and warmth. Some find Japan’s lifestyle too strict, but many admire it as part of its unique charm.

For Thais, Japan is more than a destination. It’s a partner, an inspiration, and a second home in many hearts.
