BANGKOK (Reuters) -- Car production in Thailand fell a surprisingly large 24.63% in January from a year earlier to 107,103 units due to weak domestic sales and exports, the Federation of Thai Industries said on Monday.

Thailand is Southeast Asia's biggest autos production center and an export base for some of the world's top automakers, including Toyota and Honda.
