It is important to arrive for meetings on time even when you are unsure about the punctuality of those who will be in attendance. Although punctuality in Thai is a personal trait, it signifies respect for the person you are meeting and you will earn more respect if you are on time regardless of the other party's sense of punctuality. It is also important to send the meeting's agenda prior to the meeting in both English and Thai and then allow sufficient time for preparation. Ideally, an appointment should be made one month in advance.
