A new trading house built on trust β from Northeast Thailand to the world
It means trade between people who know each other β trade bound by spoken word, by trust, and by relationships passed from one generation to the next.
In an age where international trade is measured by speed, we chose this name because we believe what makes trade last is not the lowest price β but the most trusted partner.
Kobka Co., Ltd. was founded in 2026 in Khamthalesoo Sub-district, Nakhon Ratchasima Province (Korat) β on a 4-rai (~6,400 mΒ²) plot facing Highway 2068, directly across from the District Office.
This route has carried goods from Northeastern Thailand to Bangkok and onward to Laem Chabang Port for over a century β the road that Sino-Thai merchant families built their fortunes on, generation by generation.
We built Kobka as a modern trading house with old-house principles β relationships first, consistent quality, on-time delivery, every time.
But what's new: our market is the world β our customers are in China, Japan, USA, and across Southeast Asia.
Sin Β· Kratib Β· Somsom β three perspectives that pooled their resources to bridge Thai goods to the world
Kobka didn't begin as a business plan in a meeting room. It began as a conversation among three co-founders over a dinner table one evening β Sin Β· Kratib Β· Somsom.
The three came from different career paths β one in international business development, one in branding and communications, one growing up in an Isan farming family. That difference is exactly why they decided to pool their resources and co-found Kobka β believing three different perspectives, when combined, complete the picture.
Thai goods sit on shelves in Tokyo, Shanghai, and San Francisco β at prices many times higher than the farm gate, the field, the workshop. Yet the farmers and small producers at the source rarely see any share of that added value.
The questions that followed were the same:
"Thai goods are this good β why don't they reach the destination shelf under Thai names?"
"Why must Thai farmers always be the last to benefit from what they grew?"
These questions became the beginning of Kobka.
Because we come from families that believed in the spoken word β we don't trade with exceptions.
Farmers, artisans, and community producers must earn enough to live and grow β not the lowest price for the middlemen's profit.
Every lot is inspected and selected to meet the destination country's standards before any container leaves Korat.
End customers know where every item came from β which farm, which province, who made it.
When Kobka grows, the producers we trade with must grow with us. That's the true meaning of khob-ka.
Different specialties, one shared intention β to put Thai goods on the world stage under Thai names.
We don't aim to change Thailand's entire international trade system.
But if every container leaving our Korat warehouse means:
Then we believe that's the small part we can be for Thailand's economy.
And if enough people do these small things, it becomes something big in the end.
To ensure exports are conducted fully and lawfully under Thai regulations, Kobka operates as a Group Structure with clearly divided roles. Both companies are duly registered Thai legal entities with shared directorship.
Aggregates quality Thai products from farmers, artisans, and producers nationwide β manages warehousing, quality control, documentation, and customer-facing operations with international buyers.
Holds full export licenses across all product categories β manages customs clearance, export documentation, and international trade finance as the licensed exporter of record.
π€ The Relationship Between the Two Companies
Kobka Co., Ltd. holds equity in Siam Borihan Co., Ltd. and they share common directors. The operating model: Kobka aggregates and selects products, then sells wholesale to Siam Borihan for export under the licensed entity β making every transaction transparent, auditable, and fully compliant with Thai export laws.
* This structure is standard among Thai trading companies β designed for maximum compliance with tax, customs, and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations.
To be the export gateway of quality Thai products from the Northeast to global markets β with quality, speed, and trust.
Because this is the strategic crossroads of Thai-China-ASEAN trade
Storage, fulfillment, and quality inspection β all before export
We welcome buyers who would like to see the operation in person, meet the team, and plan a long-term partnership.
