Thai electronics industry meets challenges

摘要

When many Canadians think of Thailand, visions of beaches, Buddhist temples and delicious spicy food come to mind. As I found during a recent trip there sponsored by the Thai government's Board of Investment development agency, the country is also a major manufacturing centre. Thailand produces most of the world's hard disk drives along with a variety of industrial electronics and telecommunications equipment, automobiles and light trucks, chemicals and petrochemicals and medical equipment.
