How this helps travel recommendations
Turns shopping and essentials planning into source-backed confidence: where the store is, whether it is open, whether the business/license/tax status can be validated, whether products or prices are official context or private inventory, and which source can actually prove the claim.

Developer reference
Use OSM as the free shop POI spine, Google/Longdo/NOSTRA/Foursquare for licensed POI and hours enrichment, brand locators for chain branches, DBD/RD for legal and tax identity, FDA/Excise/OTOP/Thong Fah/ETDA for regulated and special store types, DIT/MOC/BOT/TPSO for price context, GS1 for products, and marketplace APIs only with seller/partner authorization.
Check weekly for change detection, but treat the official publication period as the real cadence.

- There is no single all-store Thailand API.
- Business registry records do not prove every physical branch or opening hours.
- VAT branches can be offices, warehouses, or non-public establishments.
- POI records do not prove legal entity, VAT status, or regulated license.
- Brand locators are accurate but siloed by chain.
- Hours, holiday closures, mall hours, and temporary closures are volatile.
- Store inventory and exact shelf price are usually private unless a retailer or marketplace authorizes access.
- Official price datasets are usually category/market context, not branch-level shelf prices.
- Commercial POI/review/photo APIs have licensing and caching limits.
