About 50 Japanese companies, most of them small and medium-sized enterprises, from five major cities will visit Thailand this month to explore business opportunities. This reflects the continued confidence of Japanese investors in the Kingdom, said Udom Wongwiwatchai, secretary-general of the Board of Investment (Bol). They will also attend the "Metalex 2013" fair at Bitec Bang Na during November 20 to 23. Udom said a greater number of Japanese SMEs were now interested in overseas investment, especially in Thailand. From January to October, the number of Janpanese SME applications for investment support from the Bol reached 351 projects, together worth more than Bt19 billion.
