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.
泰國投資促進委員會(BOI)的2011年博覽會,本來是要展示投資泰國的種種好處。這將是11年來首次舉辦此類活動,地點選在首都郊外的專用展館,原定下周開幕。可現在,當局機關正忙于在曼谷的工業園區依靠臨時的堤壩和沙包系統來疏導洪水 —— 我們要淹沒這處制造商設施?還是那一處?有鑒于此,BOI已將博覽會推遲到明年1月。
