Abstract: This paper is aiming at finding the way to support Thai products/manufacturers when it is not ready to compete with other products from AEC countries by utilizing the concept of ethnocentrism and animosity as well as cultural collectivism as a protection against the influx of other countries.

While, country of origin may have influence towards necessary product, nevertheless, animosity can reduce the preference towards that necessary product that is highly value in terms of country of origin in other country.
