ORIGINAL POSTER

I have a business in the US that sells fabric wallets I designed. In the past I imported them from China. 

I would like to start importing them from Thailand instead. The Thai trade office in the US gave me a list of companies to talk with. 

What is the right visa to visit Thailand for this purpose?

I’m in CM now 13 days into my second visa exempt entry. I plan to go back to the US soon and would like return to Thailand to find the right Thai company and then do the product design and development with them.
