Medical Devices and Equipment at Thai International Hospital and Supplies Exhibition ( MEDICAL FAIR THAILAND ) Soon to be September 10–12, 2025 Held with great fanfare in Bangkok, Thailand, this exhibition is one of the most influential medical device trade shows in Southeast Asia. It brings together industry leaders from hospitals, diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, rehabilitation equipment, and related sectors, all working to explore opportunities for collaboration and growth in the region’s healthcare sector. To ensure a smooth experience during your participation and travel, we have compiled below some key information that may be relevant, for your reference and preparation.

* Exhibitors must adhere strictly to the exhibition setup schedule. Prior to setting up their booths, they should carefully review the exhibition‑specific setup guidelines posted at the venue and comply with all venue requirements.

*Exhibitors must wear protective gear. Yellow safety protective suit Visitors who fail to wear the required attire will not be permitted entry; on-site safety protective suits are available for purchase. Do not affix exhibits directly to display panels using high‑viscosity adhesives; instead, use S‑shaped hooks for hanging. However, do not engage in any actions that could damage the panels, such as nailing, drilling, or melting. Exhibit placement must not exceed the designated booth area. Smoking is prohibited throughout the venue, and open flames are strictly forbidden.

Special Attention ：

During booth construction and dismantling, safety vests and safety shoes must be worn to ensure safety; individuals without the required gear will be denied entry.

Intellectual Property Protection

For exhibits involving trademarks, patents, copyrights, or quality certifications, participating exhibitors must hold valid certificates of rights or usage‑license agreements. The organizer strongly urges exhibitors not to display samples with unclear intellectual‑property status. Should any intellectual‑property disputes arise on site, the organizer reserves the right to require exhibitors to remove exhibits subject to such disputes. For companies that continue to exhibit in violation of these requirements, the organizer reserves the right to seal off their exhibition booths.

Exhibit equipment rental

The organizer’s service desk is located at the entrance of Hall EH98.

The organizer will deliver exhibition equipment to the booth based on the exhibitor’s previously submitted equipment rental form. Additional equipment can be rented on-site, payable by card or cash. (Availability of additional equipment is subject to the contractor’s inventory.)

Newsletter

To promote a green exhibition and minimize unnecessary waste, this year’s event will no longer distribute paper-based show guides. Exhibitors can download the MEDICAL FAIR THAILAND EVENT MOBILE APP directly from Google Play or the Apple App Store. By downloading the app, attendees can access the exhibitor list and learn more about participating companies.

Security services

During the exhibition, security in public areas will be managed by the Organizing Committee and the venue. After closing hours, on-site security will be entrusted to the venue’s security department. All exhibitors are required to strictly comply with all venue regulations, present their identification upon entry and exit, and refrain from remaining in the venue after hours. Throughout the event, exhibitors are responsible for safeguarding their customer information, sensitive business secrets, and personal belongings such as mobile phones, cameras, and computers; please ensure these items are kept securely.

Exhibition Requirements

During the exhibition, exhibitors shall not share booths with companies of unknown origin. All participating enterprises—particularly those representing overseas activities—must uphold the nation’s and the people’s image; the sale of counterfeit or substandard products is strictly prohibited, and any products subject to intellectual property disputes are forbidden from being exhibited. Products that have not yet been registered in Thailand may not be sold on-site!

1. Bring your original passport (with at least six months of validity), visa pages, invitation letter, insurance policy, a copy of the immigration card, and your round-trip flight itinerary.

2. Bring an ample supply of brochures, posters, and other materials.

3. Mobile phone (with international roaming enabled), charger, power bank, and travel adapter.

4. Bring your toiletries and necessary clothing, and pack some of your regular medications—such as gastrointestinal remedies, allergy pills, fever reducers, and pain relievers—for emergencies.

5. Please do not place computers, batteries, or 3C-certified power banks in your checked baggage.

6. Bangkok, Thailand is one hour behind China; the time is Beijing Time minus one hour.

7. Regarding currency, the Thai baht (THB): 1 Chinese yuan ≈ 4.5 THB. For reference only; please refer to the real-time exchange rate on the day.

8. In September, Bangkok’s temperatures typically range from 27°C to 32°C, with relatively high average daytime highs. It’s advisable to wear breathable, lightweight clothing, such as short-sleeved shirts, T-shirts, and light shorts or thin denim jeans. For business events or more formal meetings, be sure to bring smart attire. Given Bangkok’s intense heat and strong sunshine, remember to protect your skin with sunscreen and stay well-hydrated. It is recommended to carry medications for heatstroke prevention, insect repellent, diarrhea relief, and anti-inflammatory purposes. The Grand Palace in Thailand has strict dress code requirements: sleeveless tops, shorts, and flip-flops are not permitted; you can rent a sarong locally.

9. Bangkok’s electricity supply standard is similar to China’s, at 220V and 50Hz. All outlets are German‑standard two‑round‑pin sockets.

10. Tips: In most countries abroad, tipping is customary. Travelers are advised to carry some small-denomination bills for this purpose, to avoid awkward situations on short notice. Chinese tourists should follow local customs and pay appropriate tips in accordance with international practice—for example, 20 Thai baht for a photo with a ladyboy, 20 Thai baht per day as a bedside tip, and tips for hotel staff who arrange taxis, taxi drivers, restaurant and bar servers, room attendants, and bellhops, among others.

11. Over 95% of Thailand’s population practices Buddhism, which is regarded as the national religion, and temples are considered sacred spaces. When entering a temple, shoes must be removed—slippers are permitted inside but should be taken off outside the main hall—and attire should be neat and modest; tops must have sleeves, and bottoms must extend below the knees. Shorts, short skirts, and strapless tops are not suitable for the main sanctuary, and some temples provide aprons for visitors to borrow. Thais regard the head as the most sacred part of the body, so it is considered impolite to touch another person’s head—even out of affection or curiosity. When greeting someone, it is customary to perform a “wai”—pressing the palms together at chest level, with fingertips touching the brow and the body slightly leaning forward—rather than shaking hands. When offering the wai to elders, monks, or officials, the fingertips should be raised higher, close to the forehead; between equals, the gesture is moderate; and when addressing younger individuals, the hands may be lowered slightly.
