Most recently, he has provided technical assistance to the South Florida Water Management District, the Government of Sierra Leone, Uganda, Bulgaria, Columbia, and the Federal Government of Canada in the area of procurement reforms, procurement integrity and international procurement. 

In 2004, Professor Thai initiated the International Public Procurement Conference.  The conference is intended to be a forum for practitioners and researchers from developed and developing countries (1) to share and to advance knowledge, innovation and best practices in public procurement; and particularly (2) to build a global network for practitioners and researchers.  To achieve this goal, a website (www.IPPA.WS) has been created, where all papers presented at previous conferences are posted.

In 2008, he received the “Distinguished Service Award” from the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing, Inc., a national professional association.
