Time difference & quoting
Japan is 2 hours ahead of Bangkok, so our desk works almost the same hours as your office and a morning brief is usually quoted the same day.
Getting your clients here
Most clients from Thailand fly from Suvarnabhumi (BKK) to Tokyo Narita, Tokyo Haneda or Osaka Kansai, nonstop or via a hub depending on the carrier; we confirm every routing at quotation.
What Thai travellers want
Thailand books short, repeat breaks of four to seven nights, with service quality and clear documentation mattering more than headline discounts.
When this market travels
Demand for Japan from Thailand builds around Songkran in April, the October school break and the year-end holidays.
Currency, payment & billing
Your clients pay in Thai baht (THB). We quote net in Japanese yen, US dollars or your working currency and lock the rate at confirmation, so your margin in THB is known before you sell.
How Explera supports the Thailand trade.
Thailand is a high-frequency Japan market — Thai clients return often, so fresh inventory and instant-confirmation hotels win the booking. Net rates stay confidential to the trade and the mark-up is yours to set.
Settlement for Thai partners runs on agreed credit terms by bank transfer or the B2B portal, with every service line itemised. Deposit and final-payment schedules are sized to your lead times, with secure card and bank-transfer settlement.
Pacing in Japan is tuned to short itineraries for Thailand: early starts at the busiest sights, free afternoons, and inspected dinner reservations. Guides, vehicles and coordinators are booked and briefed by one team, so one accountable desk owns the experience.

Asked by agents in Thailand.
Why do Thai travel agents need a Japan DMC?
For Thailand, a DMC turns Japan into a single accountable supply chain — one contract, one invoice, one 24/7 desk — instead of chasing individual hotels and operators.
Do you provide language support for Thailand?
English-language account management is standard, and Mandarin, Korean and Thai guides are assigned to match your clients.
Which parts of Japan do Thai clients book most?
The Golden Route — Tokyo, Hakone or Mount Fuji, Kyoto and Osaka — anchors most first Japan programs for Thailand; Hiroshima, Kanazawa, Hokkaido in winter and Okinawa are the usual extensions once clients return.
How do agencies in Thailand settle invoices with Explera?
Quotations are issued in your working currency with dedicated multi-currency receiving accounts plus secure card payment, every transfer confirmed in writing — see the payments page.
Is Explera a registered operator?
Yes — Explera operates under IATA TIDS registration 96215733 and ASTA membership 900408341, with registered companies in Hong Kong, New Zealand, Thailand and India. Both numbers can be checked with IATA and ASTA before you contract.
