According to Surapong Paisitpattanapong, a spokesperson for FTI's automotive industry division, the reduction was due to a lack of space for loading cars to be shipped out.
Domestic car sales in November also dropped 4.79% to 68,284 vehicles as a result of flooding in several parts of the country.
Thailand is a regional vehicle production and export base for the world's top carmakers, including Toyota and Honda. The industry accounts for about 10% of the economy and its manufacturing jobs./.
