Ebay buys Thai government’s economy sufficiency policy
Ebay, the world’s largest online marketing website, has expressed strong
support for the Thai government’s application of His Majesty the King’s
sufficiency economy concept and wants to talk with appropriate government
officials about promoting Thai local products more widely on the world
market.
Mr. Sam McDonagh, South East Asia Director of Ebay, said last week that Thai
products such as gemstones, apparel and sports equipment are very popular
items among online shoppers. Thai jewellery is currently selling at the rate
of one item every 27 seconds whilst items of Thai clothing or fashion
accessories are sold online every 56 seconds.
Mr. McDonagh reiterated that despite substantial market penetration already,
Thai products still possess ample potential to reach and compete in even
wider world markets.
The e-marketing chief says Thailand should encourage its entrepreneurs to
seek more opportunities to display their goods online and as a result both
enhance the domestic job market and increase national income.
He added that there is still plenty more room for Thailand’s online market
to grow, as the number of Thais with internet access continues to grow.
