Stores, retail, and shopping intelligence
Thailand store intelligence only works when POIs, legal entities, tax records, licenses, chain locators, prices, and inventory stay separate. Use OSM as the free geospatial shop spine, Google/Longdo/NOSTRA/Foursquare as licensed POI and hours enrichment, brand locators for chain branches, DBD for legal business identity, Revenue Department VAT/VRT data for tax and tourist-refund validation, FDA/Excise/OTOP/Thong Fah/ETDA for regulated and special store types, DIT/MOC/BOT/TPSO for price context, GS1 for product IDs, and marketplace APIs only where authorized.

Use this order when store, branch, business, tax, license, price, and inventory sources disagree.
| Rank | Source layer |
|---|---|
| 1 | Brand locator or mall directory for chain branch existence, branch hours, format, services, and amenities. |
| 2 | Google Places, Longdo, NOSTRA, Foursquare, and OSM for physical POI coordinates, hours, categories, reviews, photos, and map matching. |
| 3 | DBD and GDX/DBD for juristic-person and commercial-registration identity, status, registered address, capital, and business objective. |
| 4 | Revenue Department VAT and VAT Refund for Tourist datasets for tax-registered and tourist-refund shop validation. |
| 5 | FDA, Excise, OTOP, Thong Fah, Farm Outlet, and ETDA catalogs for regulated, community, welfare, and online platform layers. |
| 6 | DIT/MOC/BOT/TPSO price datasets, GS1 product IDs, and authorized Shopee/Lazada/LINE MAN/Wongnai APIs for product, price, seller, and inventory context. |
This keeps physical branches, legal companies, VAT records, chain locators, POIs, product prices, and online sellers from collapsing into one misleading record.
| Rule | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1 | Same brand_store_id or mall tenant ID is strongest for a chain branch. |
| 2 | Same Google place ID, Longdo place ID, NOSTRA place ID, Foursquare ID, or OSM ID is exact only within that source layer. |
| 3 | Same DBD juristic ID proves the same legal entity, not the same physical branch. |
| 4 | Same RD VAT branch plus same address is a strong tax/store match. |
| 5 | Same brand plus same address plus coordinates within 50 meters is a strong physical branch match. |
| 6 | Same name alone is weak because Thai shops, pharmacies, markets, and mall tenants repeat names constantly. |
Each layer answers a different question. A DBD company is not a public branch; a VAT branch is not a shelf inventory feed; a Google place is not a legal license; a category price is not a store shelf price.
Google, Longdo, NOSTRA, Foursquare, OSM, brand locators, and mall directories answer where a store is, whether it is open, and what users see.
