Good evening, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen. Once again thank you so much for your interests in Thailand and the opportunity to in ASEAN through Thailand Exhibition “ this evening. Last July , our first Lady Prime Minister: Yingluck had made and official visit to France with the accompany of several ministry from Thailand and business delegates to exchange view and discuss trade and investment relateions. This is the good sing of both country ‘s partnership. As France is the fifth largest economy in the world and an important player in the European and global affairs, especially in the field of Trade Fairs industry, There are many flagship shows and world recognition shows in Paris. Many of you may only know Thailand as the leisure destination than business opportunity ‘s point of view, therefore, the purpose of this Forum is to introduce Thailand and ASEAN region to you as well as to reiterate the readiness of Thailand and also highlight the economic potential of Thailand as a regional hub of ASEANl My presentation will be divided into three parts, 1. Introduction about ASEAN and ASEAN connectivity through Thailand, 2. Thailand exhibition outlook and 3. Government Support
Thailand lies at the heart of SEA with a sizeable market of 67 million consumers and welcome 15 million tourists a year. Thailand has capitalized on its geographical advantage in being located at the heart of Southeast Asia , makes it a natural gateway to the emerging economies of the Greater Mekong Sub-region, and being the center of ASEAN mainland bloc , making easy access to this fast-growing economic market . And Making Thailand a transportation center for ASEAN Mainland connectivity
Asia ‘s economic is growing and and the world mostly recognize China, India, there is another part of Asia which prove to be a dynamic market with over 600 population , this emerging market is “ Southeast Asia region” and are called as the new name and nationality as “ASEAN” (SEA change to ASEAN) By 2015 this ASEAN region comprise of 10 nation will be integrated as ASEAN Economic Community”, joining Single market and one production base as the main characteristics
ASEAN also brings opportunities for serving the rest of Asia. With India to the West, China to the north, Japan and South Korea to the north-east, and Australia to the south-east, ASEAN is ideally placed to integrate more widely. Indeed, this is already happening as the ASEAN bloc signs trade deals with its neighbours and becomes a platform for wider Asian integration. Trade between ASEAN and the rest of Asia is climbing sharply, see ASEAN trade with China .
The AEC will feature a free flow of goods, services, investment, capital and labor within ASEAN, while creating a Single Aviation Market with an open-sky arrangement. By 2015, the goal is to have created an ASEAN Economic Community – a fully integrated market and production base. The members are Thailand as the center of ASEAN mainland, with the border connected with Mynmar, Loas, Cambodia, Malaysia, 45 mins. To Vietnam, 2 hours to Singapore, Three hours to Indonesia, Phillipines and Brueni.
Asean will be a formidable economic power house in the world in the near future if as plan by 2015 onward Asean will be a single country and well connected with 600 million people, it is the world's 9th largest economy. Population wise, it is the world's third largest. As such Asean is the world's 5th largest trading power after the EU, US, China and Germany. As this integration continues, it is creating an economic region with genuine scale. ASEAN as a whole contains 600m people. Its combined economy this year will account for 3.2% of global GDP (by comparison India’s share will be 2.8%), and produce 7.2% of the world’s exports (measured by value). And ASEAN is growing rapidly. The Economist Intelligence Unit expects ASEAN to grow by an average annual rate of 5% over the next five years, lifting the region’s share of the global economy to almost 4% by 2016
Its share of global exports will climb to more than 8%. ASEAN has long been a strong production base for making manufactured exports. As incomes rise within the region, ASEAN will become an even more attractive place to put factories that not only serve consumers overseas, but also serve domestic consumers within the bloc. The integration of the region is creating economies of scale for such factories by enabling one production facility to serve all 10 countries.
With almost 10% of the world’s population, and with incomes rising across the region, ASEAN is also becoming an ever more attractive consumer market.
The possibilities for business are numerous. Across the region, huge opportunities are emerging in sectors ranging from infrastructure and construction to fast-moving consumer goods and healthcare services. The rise of a vast middle class is fuelling demand for financial services, for cars, and for other consumer durables
Thailand has many positive attributes to induce many international visitors, business travellers and investors to Thailand. Thailand ‘s strategic location as a hub of ASEAN mainland Strong supply chain Liberal investment policy and financial policy Several major infrastructure investment projects and transportation center for ASEAN connectibity Cultural rich and friendly environment Strong government support Value for money with varieties of accommodation

ASEAN connectivity through Geographic Advantage
Thailand as center of ASEAN mainland connectivity l if as planned by 2017 to completion of Singapore-Kunming railway link by passing Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. Through Thailand as the hub of this railway link, Same as in both the west and east to complete the regional railway network. Opening of Myanmar give Thailand ‘s more opportunity to connect to sub-regional grouping of BIMST-EC (Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, Mynmar and Thailand Economic Cooperation. This unique will link between South Asia and Southeast Asia bringing together 1.3 billion people The Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) is a natural economic area bound together by the Mekong River, covering 2.6 million square kilometers and a combined population of around 326 million. The GMS countries are Cambodia, the People's Republic of China (PRC, specifically Yunnan Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region), Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), Myanmar, Thailand, and Viet Nam. The Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) formation, the IMT-GT has grown in geographic scope and activities to encompass more than 70 million people. It is now composed of 14 provinces in southern Thailand, 8 states of Peninsular Malaysia, and the 10 provinces of Sumatra in Indonesia.
Thailand is located strategically at the heart of the bloc, sharing borders with Malaysia, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos. What’s more, infrastructure in all these countries is developing rapidly, such that Vietnam and China are increasingly connected by road and rail to Thailand, enabling products and parts to be delivered swiftly and helping pan-regional supply chains to work cheaply and efficiently. The opening up of Myanmar will further strengthen Thailand’s position. Not only will the country’s low-cost labour complement Thailand’s more sophisticated industry, but a new deep-water port being built at Dawei in Myanmar will provide the nations of Indochina with direct access to the Bay of Bengal.
