Stores, retail, and shopping

OpenStreetMap Thailand shop POIs.

Best free geospatial store spine. Useful for shop categories, coordinates, polygons, opening_hours, brand, operator, contact tags, wheelchair/accessibility, payment hints, markets, and pharmacies. Coverage is incomplete and it is not legal/tax/license proof.

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

Best endpoint

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.

Recommended refresh

Refresh daily, or more often only when the source publishes explicit current-status fields.

Travel scoring role

Failure modes

  • 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.
  • Geospatial layers can be large, tiled, or projection-specific.

Source confidence: Treat this profile as strongest for the exact role named above. It is weaker when the source is stretched into live availability, legal proof, or traveler-fit decisions it does not directly prove.
