Getting your clients here
Dense nonstop network: Tokyo (Narita/Haneda), Osaka and Nagoya into Bangkok — about 6.5 hours (JAL, ANA, Thai, ZIPAIR).
What Japanese travellers want
Japanese clients prioritise safety, cleanliness and punctuality — short itineraries (4–6 days), Japanese-speaking guides, and precise schedules matter more than discounts. Golden Week, Obon and the New Year break are the three demand spikes.
When this market travels
Golden Week (late Apr–early May), Obon (mid Aug), New Year.
Currency, payment & billing
Invoice in USD or JPY-referenced quotes; rate locked at confirmation.
How Explera supports the Japan trade.
Japan is a high-frequency Thailand market — Japanese 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.
Commercially, your agency in Japan works with a named account manager who answers during your office hours and quotes net, confidential rates. One line-itemised statement per file drops cleanly into your mid- or back-office system without manual rekeying.
Japanese clients get Mandarin, Japanese and Korean-language guiding on request and our own GPS-tracked fleet across Thailand. Drivers run our own insured, GPS-tracked fleet, and the 24/7 duty desk covers every ground hour of the trip.

Asked by agents in Japan.
Why do Japanese travel agents need a Thailand DMC?
A DMC gives Japanese agents contracted net rates, in-country accountability and 24/7 support on local ground time — you keep the client and margin while we run hotels, transfers, guides and excursions.
How fast are quotations for this market?
Most FIT and group RFQs return within 24 hours, fully costed in your working currency; complex MICE programs are scoped within 2–3 business days.
Do you provide language support for Japan?
Yes — 日本語 documentation and guide coordination are available, alongside English-language account management for your team.
Which parts of Thailand do Japanese clients book most?
Japanese clients are matched to the parts of Thailand that suit their dates and pace, with seasonality driving the routing.
How do agencies in Japan settle invoices with Explera?
Japan partners settle by bank transfer or card in their currency, with written confirmation on every payment; full account details are on the payments page.
Is Explera a licensed, accredited operator?
Yes — Explera operates under Tourism Authority of Thailand licence No. 34/03219 and IATA accreditation 96215733, with registered entities in Hong Kong and India. Licence numbers are printed on every quotation so your compliance team can verify before contracting.
What is the minimum group size or booking value?
There is none — the same net-rate access covers a two-person honeymoon and a 500-delegate incentive. Most Japan partners start with one FIT booking to test the service.
Can Explera white-label documents for our agency brand?
Yes — itineraries, vouchers and pickup boards can carry your branding, with Explera appearing only as the ground operator. Your client relationship stays yours.
