[edit]

Trade relations between Bangladesh and Thailand grow stronger with each passing year, particularly with regard to commodity relations. Thailand, as a more developed country, sees many Bengali students coming over to study the sciences.[5]Bangladesh has suggested that Thailand participate more actively in its economic sphere. According to the Minister of Finance of Bangladesh - Thailand is still able to increase its contribution to the economy of Bangladesh.[6]

On 2 May 2010, it became known that Thailand would hold a four-day trade fair in Bangladesh. This event was attended by 47 Thai companies. Currently, the volume of trade between Thailand and Bangladesh is about $650 million.[7]Thailand is also a very popular country for Bangladeshis to travel to, as Dhaka and Bangkok flights are only for 2 and a half hours in between. Thai food is very famous in Bangladesh, as there is a great appreciation of Thai culture with Bangladeshi people.
