The Chairwoman of The Capital Market Opportunity Center (CMOC) and the Market for Alternative Investment (MAI), Ms. Sopawadee Lertmanaschai, disclosed that The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), the Thai Chamber of Commerce, and the Songkhla Chamber of Commerce will jointly host “SET Roadshow in Songkhla’ on Oct. 9-10, 2004 between 10:00 — 17:00 hrs. each day at the Lee Gardens Plaza Hotel, Hat Yai, Songkhla Province. The organizers will take investment experts to the South to help guide and advise investors and the general public in Songkhla as well as from several of its neighboring provinces.
Ms. Sopawadee said that: “This roadshow in Songkhla is our 6th roadshow this year. We believe that the event will be as well attended as last year’s event, as Songkhla is very active in terms of securities investment.
