CONTENTS

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
THAI DOUJINSHI MARKET AND COMIC SQUARE

  1. Wear comfy outfit as it will be summer in March in Thailand. The weather can be as hot as 35-45 ํC. However, in the auditorium the air conditioning can be chilling sometimes. Bringing a thin shawl or jacket is a good idea too.
  2. Thai people are considerably open for diversities, either in term of acceptance of foreign visitors, gender, race, religion, and, in term of manga content; there is no aversion to any specific genre.
  3. However, it is recommended to inform buyers before hand if your work contains senvitive contents, for instance, suicide, violence, child abuse, etc. Having Content Warning (CW) and/or Trigger Warning (TW) mark on the cover and signs is safer for you and buyers.
  4. Most Thai buyers can communicate in basic English, at least enough to buy and to give you some short greetings. Some may find a bit difficult for deeper conversations such as asking for an autography or telling how long he/she has been following you. Please be patient and enjoy the moment with your oversea fans.
  5. Buyers nowadays typically bring a little cash and pay by bank transfer. You may hear the word “QR code” “scan” “promtpay” “Own” (Thai word for “Transfer”) from your customers. It will be very convenient if you can accept Thai transfer payment or have some Thai friend to do so. Otherwise, ‘Cash Only’ sign will be very helpful to allow your buyers to get themselves ready before buying.
  6. Typically, female artists and female buyers account for a greater population than male artists and male buyers in Thai douinshi events. However, the porportion is more blended in COMIC SQUARE –roughly 55/45 famale to male–.
  7. Almost all books sold in Thai doujinshi conventions are made in Thai language. Thai or English traslated version is strongly suggested for oversea artists. Japanese, Chinese, and other languages are very rare.
  8. Don’t know how much you should price your products? Our previous CQ9 menu compliations may help.
  9. Though NSFW works are commonly traded in Thai doijinshi market, in fact, it is not legal by Thai laws. Please strictly follow our instructions regarding selling NSFW products.
  10. During the showday, only pre-opening announcement and closing ceremony will be made bilingually –in Thai and English–. The rest of promotional announcements will only be made in Thai. However, non-Thai circles and exhibitors can always refer to our English exhibitor manual which will be provided altogether with the registration ticket in the email to be sent around 1-2 weeks before the showday. Our English-speaking staffs are also always happy to assist you throughout the process from the application period to the end of the showday.
  11. No need to underestimate yourself that you would have nobody knowing you in such distant country. Be confident and have fun!

It could be a notebook with sketches, hardcopy paper work, photos or videos in your mobile phone that record your process, files in the laptop pc or on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram account where pictures or video clips are posted during the working process.
  • Please note that even if the applicant has been entitled after the application period or has submitted a menu image, if there is later found that the authorship of some/all product(s) cannot be authenticated, staffs may ask you to refrain from selling the item on the showday or suspend the entire booth. To avoid possible conflicts, circle should be cautious about selling merchandise that he/she/they is/are not sure if it meets the event’s regulations and should avoid sharing a booth with others you do not know well or give the booth to the others without permission from the staffs.
  • For new applicants who have never attended COMIC SQUARE before, it is strongly recommended that you submit a valid Facebook page, Twitter account, Instagram account, or samples of your work as much as possible. Submiting personal Facebook accounts, newly opened blank page, locked private Twitter or Instagram accounts are a typical clause of failing the applicant process.

REGULATIONS REGARDING SELLING NSFW (R-18) PRODUCTS

COMIC SQUARE strongly believes in freedom of art. However, please kindly note that selling of pornography is not legal in Thailand though it is common in doujinshi community. In addition, as our community continues to grow rapidly and more new visitors are coming, there may be a large number of youth, parents, and the general public who do not know the nature of the community on the showday.
