Go east, young
man, go east . . .
“GO west, young man, and grow up with the country,” a
rather famous quotation from 1851. It was, of course, an
appeal for people to colonise the wild west of the US, but
it may be preferable – for the next month at least – to turn
the compass round and head east...
For it is time for the wire and cable bandwagon to roll into
Bangkok – capital of Thailand and known as the city of
angels, and home to wire Southeast Asia (p74-102) from
13
th
-15
th
September. Developing from a small trading post
on the Chao Phraya River, Bangkok is today home to
some 10 million residents in a thriving and bustling
environment.
During the Asian invesment boom of the 80s and 90s,
Bangkok became an important political, financial and
cultural centre that now attracts some 10 million
international visitors each year – that’s second only to
London.
Development continues to pour into the city – generally
neglecting of the rest of the country. Indeed, if claims by
economists are to be believed, Bangkok accounts for 75
per cent of Thailand’s service sector, and that’s a shade
over 45 per cent of the country’s $590 billion economy.
That investment running through the entire country is
bolstered to the tune of $10 billion each year with direct
foreign investment.
And companies in the wire and cable industry are, quite
naturally, eager to do business at an exhibition regarded
as the leader in the region for the latest equipment and
technology in the industry.
More than 300 of them will be
making the journey to seize
the opportunities generated
in this developing and
burgeoning market.
We wish them all well.
