And for the post-experience, when the tourists go back home, they buy a lot. And for the cross-border, e-commerce become more important. Today, Chinese government already allowed some airport and seaport to have the duty free, door to door duty free, no need to carry, the tourists no need to carry the product by their own. Today, the cross-border e-commerce, i think they call Haitao. Haitao is individual Chinese citizen can buy the product. for example form Australia, like food sub enterer or the powdered milk, directly from Australia or cosmetics form Korea. The limit among of the money is the 20,000 RMB per year. And individual order not exceed than 2000 RMB, and no import tax, only 17% VAT.

It means lower can be declined the VAT 20%. This is very easier for the tourists to make order after they come back they can buy some more souvenir. No need to revisit again and again and carry back the great souvenirs.

For Chiang Mai, we are the food market, and we brand the cities by the fruit. Thai fruit is very popular in China, because it’s different fruit and the Chinese they prefer the tropical fruit like liulian， mango or pineapple mango string and other like very different kind of the dry fruit and also like banana. And then Thai government they have the policy e-commerce market. They change the tourist destination to be the fruit cities, to provide fresh and seasonal fruits for the visitors, are very successful in Chiang Mai. And the other city like Phuket, Chonburi and also dry fruit is also very popular.

And in the future, we can extend to the other cross-border e-commerce like herbs, like cosmetics or other that Thai traditional medicine, something like that. And in Chiang Mai because of the logistic development in China today very easy from the free zone of the cross border e-commerce port only triduum to which every home in China. And also in Chiang Mai we can do O2O from offline to online help the shop the restaurant to do the online visiting by the cross broader e-commerce. That can do better customer aftersell service.
