The Commerce Ministry showcased Chonburi’s many factory-made goods at a three-day industrial-products fair in Pattaya.

Leading Chart Pattana Party MP Suwat Liptapanlop kicked off the Nov. 29-Dec. 1 expo at the National Indoor Sports Arena with Bureau of Investment secretary Udom Wongwiwattanachai, Chonburi Deputy Gov. Pornchai Khawansakul and Pattaya Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome.

The show featured six zones highlighting environmentally friendly products, a Ministry of Industry question-and-answer forum, lectures on business success in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations zone, a marketplace for small- and medium-size businesses, and robotics.

Udom said the show was organized due to Chonburi’s predominance in manufacturing and to give business operators and exporters opportunities to learn how to expand their businesses.

“The eastern region has many advantages as the largest industrial area in the country,” Pornchai said. “It is one of the centers for ASEAN logistics, plus offers cities with abundant natural resources, beauty and tourism.”
