BANGKOK -- At a seminar this month to forecast Thailand's two-way trade with China, the commerce minister, Sonthirat Sonthijirawong, hailed e-commerce as the business model that could propel the country to new heights.
If tapped well, Sonthirat said, online business will expand its share of bilateral trade between Thailand and its biggest trading partner, which is expected to hit $120 billion by 2020 -- a considerable rise from $73 billion last year.
