The manufacturing sector constitutes Thailand’s main industry, producing a wide variety of goods such as textiles and garments, plastics, footwear, electronics, integrated circuits, computers and components, automobiles and parts, and cement. Manufacturing is generally not restricted by the Foreign Business Act of 1999 which means that foreigners are allowed to operate such businesses in Thailand. This is good news for foreign investors who are looking to establish a manufacturing business in Thailand, as there are few restrictions in place.
