Mr. Rachane Potjanasuntorn, Director General of the Department of Export Promotion stated that “Lifestyle products from Thailand continue to do well in the global marketplace due to the designs which are both pleasing to the eyes and practical. We are active in researching the trends in different cultures and lifestyles, and design our products to serve each consumer group. We also
