Department of Business Development deputy director-general Poonpong Naiyanapakorn on Thursday (September 26) said they are looking to file an appeal to the Foreign Business Committee to remove four businesses from the list to invite more foreign companies to invest in Thailand. “These businesses are: Type 1 telecommunication service providers (without a dedicated network), treasury management centres, aircraft maintenance services for aircraft under the Air Navigation Act and their equipment, and development of high value-added software.”
