scoooooby Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Firstly hi to all, was not sure where to list this topic so plumped for the General section :-) I work for an Automotive manufacturer and am based in the UK. I have been asked to support the below project due to my personal interest in Thailand and a wish to relocate if the opportunity arises... (yes, a very big smile on my face at the moment!) We have sites worldwide supporting many OEM Auto Manufacturers however the Group is now looking to position a regional site within Thailand (currently supported via our India manufacturing). I am looking for any contacts to assist in setting up a site in Thailand (assembly and then manufacturing)....looking for advice on where best to be positioned (Rayong?) and generally any advice for a start up company with regard to premises, staffing, local legislation etc.....I have contacted the Board of Investment also but always welcome any local views and comments to avoid any pitfalls etc..... Any comments (constructive please ha ha) are welcome and appreciated..... Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilDrSomkid Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 IIRC, most Thai auto industry centers around the Chonburi, Rayong, Changoengsao triangle. There are Mitsu assembly plants in Pluak Daeng. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reddog1 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I'm not quite sure how to make contact. But I'm a very experienced senior mechanical project engineer from the USA with a place in Phuket. I would love to be involved with a project like this. In any capacity that is allowed. If not an occasional chat over a beer would be fun. To see how it is going. I just brought out two new products in Bangkok. We are doing a market survey. So all forms of manufacturing in Thailand are of interest. Maybe you can friend me in this forum somehow and we can take it from there. I don't think they allow posted e-mails here. But I think there are contact methods in the personal profile section. I think Skype is one and Facebook is another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
