At the beginning of December 2022, the Board of Investment, or BOI, approved new measures to support the driving forward of investment promotion strategies so as to create the country’s new economy, under the five-year investment promotion strategy (2023-2027).

Interested foreign investors or foreign business operators may inquire for further information with BOI or find follow-up details at www.boi.go.th to learn more about the application for investment promotion. In this way, investors and owners will be able to change the industry to keep pace with the “save the world” trend, which aims to prevent the destruction of our environment and to ensure that industries operate in a sustainable manner.
