H.E. Laksanawisit revealed that the air conditioning and refrigeration as well as the electric and electronics industries are significant to Thailand’s economy, as they generate more than 640,000 local jobs and average annual export incomes of over two trillion baht.

Thailand is one of the world’s most important production bases of electric and electronics products, ranked the second largest exporter of air conditioners and the sixth largest exporter of refrigerators, chillers and cooling system, H.E.
