Abstract:
Thailand is the fifteenth largest automobile producer in the world. It is the largest among the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN), manufacturing more than one million vehicles per year.

The Thai government's policies and Free Trade Agreements have led to favourable conditions for accelerated growth in the industry.
