Throughout time the Pacific Ocean has served to communicate the American continent with Asia, just as the Nao de China did for centuries as it traded with the Spanish colonies and linked them. However, the countries on either side still know little about each other.

Concerning Latin America, the ignorance is considerably greater. South East Asia is not only far geographically speaking, but also in other scopes such as culture, sports and commerce. With the aim of demonstrating the potential that exists between both regions and countries, and the advantages of further exploration, especially for the Mexican business community, this work focuses on a brief review of some aspects of the two regions, mainly on the ties between Mexico and Thailand throughout a relation of almost 40 years. Notwithstanding the limited attention given by both, Mexico and Thailand, cooperation and commerce between these two nations has been constantly increasing since 1990. This offers great possibilities for broad exploitation of the Pacific Rim, but it requires further joint efforts between the public and private sectors, with the assistance of the academia.
