We toured a semiconductor plant and a Nike factory. The Thai people used to have a cost advantage, but have lost that to China, for now. To remain competitive, it was interesting to see how they are adopting Lean Manufacturing principles. This helps them stay efficient and allows them to compete on quality and speed as well as cost.
Highlights of our stop were the luxuries of the Bangkok Marriott, touring around the Chao Phraya Riveron river taxis, seeing the royal fleat of yachts, climbing the Wat Arun temple, and visiting the Grand Palace - where the story of Anna and the King took place. We also took a Dinner Cruise - the Tiger Prawns were really good.
