Practically all of the world’s major automakers and auto parts manufacturers have a presence in Thailand, and it’s no wonder: the high service standards, strategic location, and ease with which one can do business make it a prime location in the auto industry.

The automotive sector is well developed in Thailand, with a vast network of small and large, local and foreign companies all along the car-production supply chain. The Thailand Board of Investment details all the aspects of the industry, the country’s green cars ambitions, as well as future perspectives and opportunities for investments.

So too does the fact that the ASEAN region’s second biggest economy has the largest vehicle-assembling capacity as well as low tariffs that have prompted a surge in exports. Thailand ships vehicles to 130 countries worldwide.
