 Modern industry is making an appearance in a number of
areas throughout the country. Thailand's rapidly growing manufacturing sector
includes processing facilities for rice, wood, sugar, fruits and seafood,
refineries for oil and ore. There are also assembly plants for integrated
circuits, automobiles, agricultural machinery, household appliances, diesel
engines, drilling and welding machines. Factories produce items as diverse as
textiles, furniture, ceramics, pharmaceutical products, artificial flowers and
animal feeds, and industrial plants manufacture aluminum, glass and cement.
Thailand's manufacturing sector faces a bright future, thanks
to skilled, low-cost labor, keen market appreciation and a freely competitive
economic system.
