D-Commerce: Opportunity for Thai Small Businesses
D-Commerce stands for Decentralized Commerce which is one type of an E-Commerce. It is a Business-to-Business (B2B) online business.

How does the opening of ASEAN community relate to the people of Bangkok? : The effects (1)
Recently, I have analyzed and written a lot about entering into the ASEAN community and have given a general picture.

I, therefore, think that it will be very beneficial if there are detailed analyses conducted to find out answers to how the opening of the ASEAN community would affect Bangkok and people who live in Bangkok.
Entering and becoming one of the members of the ASEAN community affects the people of Bangkok in many ways and these are as follows.
Thailand after the opening of AEC (1)
The ASEAN community has become one of the most commonly spoken about issue; however, recent surveys found out that Thai?s having knowledge and understanding on ASEAN community are just a few in numbers.
