The 2011 Board of Investment Fair was supposed to showcase everything great about investing in Thailand. The first such event for 11 years, to be held in purpose-built pavilions on the outskirts of the capital, was supposed to kick off next week. Now, though, with authorities still scrambling to steer floodwaters through makeshift systems of dykes and sandbags in the industrial parks of Bangkok – do we swamp this manufacturer’s facility? Or that one? – the BOI has postponed the fair until January.
泰国投资促进委员会(BOI)的2011年博览会,本来是要展示投资泰国的种种好处。这将是11年来首次举办此类活动,地点选在首都郊外的专用展馆,原定下周开幕。可现在,当局机关正忙于在曼谷的工业园区依靠临时的堤坝和沙包系统来疏导洪水 —— 我们要淹没这处制造商设施?还是那一处?有鉴于此,BOI已将博览会推迟到明年1月。
