Guai said that exports of fashion and leather products last year were US $7 billion 120 million, and this year's exports will increase by 10% to 7 billion 830 million US dollars.

The well developed export markets are mainly European countries such as Spain and Belgium, as well as Asian markets such as ASEAN, China and Vietnam.

A total of 54 companies participated in the exhibition this year, with 874 booths.

It is divided into 600 fashion booths and 252 leather stalls.

The 27-29 day of this month is an enterprise negotiation day, which will be open to the public on the 30-31 th.

It is predicted that the liquidity of the exhibition will be no less than 500 million baht. It is important for Thailand to become a member of the Asian Fashion alliance this year. Other Asian members include Japan, Korea, China, Singapore and Thailand.

Guya said that although the political situation is having problems, it should not deteriorate.

If the demonstration of the NLD can be eased within 1-2 days, private consumption and investment confidence will improve, and the government can still work as usual.

However, he acknowledges that the NLD's occupation of many government offices may confuse foreign businessmen, and has ordered commercial envoys to explain to foreign businessmen in detail.

It is emphasized that Thailand's economic foundation is good, and that it will not affect the overall economic growth.
