Domestic car sales in the first eight months this year increased by 19.6% year-on-year to 559,537 units as recovering tourism helped boost demand following the reopening of the country late last year, says the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI).
"In August alone, sales in the country soared by 61.7% year-on-year to 68,208 units because there were no lockdown measures like those imposed last year," said Surapong Paisitpatanapong, vice-chairman and spokesman for the FTI's automotive club.
