at a recent conference at MuangThongThani an international gathering confirmed that ,yes, the Thais can be the IT hub of asia !! Dont these people have any concience than to feed their delusions about hubs?

There are too many obstacles in the way of such a thing happening.

Taiwan is light years of LOS in IT so why didnt they come out and tell them straight instead of all the toadying ? I guess it might have caused a loss of face maybe .

Malaysia wanted to do that , about eight years ago ,

near KL.

Don't hear much about it now.

Just politicians' BS

Yes ... Same Old ... Same Old.

Thailand wants to be a world leader at something, but are unable to find 'it'.

They tried rice, but then found out that everyone in SEA was more efficient at

growing this than they were.

Then it was IT, but the infrastructure is hopeless. And the skill levels could never

match S'pore's.

Then it was creamics. But the Italians have that sewn up.

Naka.

Come on guys.

Let the Thais have their dreams..........

They want to be the main center of all hub in Asia with No Action Talk Only - NATO TIT.

Not even in tourism. Hong Kong gets almost twice as many visitors as Thailand.

True, it's mostly shopping - their guests stay 1-3 days, spend 1-2,000+ US$ and go.

The politicians think they can be the centre of everthing in Asia, but they don't have the skills or the resources to put into practice these grandiose ideas.

Talk is just talk.

Actually Thailand could be a hub for many things, unfortunatley the Thai's with the skills and drive to impliment such projects never have their talents realised. They are held back as they are often seen as trouble makers for wanting to make changes or work differently to the system.

the easiset way would be to ask people - what thailand is best known for - then declare a hub of the most common answer.

Perhaps, they have done that long ago...now trying to run away from the answer.

With some success, I must admit.

The IT Hub would be ideal in Eastern Industrial Estates like ESIE and Hemaraj ESIE with BoI Zone 3 benefits, logistics, skilled labor, infrastructure and competitive expenses. Hope it happens.

Hemaraj Industrial Estates Looks like a plug and play program for the IT industry.
