There’s a lot to like about Thailand, and terms like “the land of smiles”. And “heaven on earth” were invented for those very reasons. However, those aren’t why Royal Enfield decided to build a new plant in the country.
Royal Enfield recently announced that its newest factory facility in Thailand has now gone into operation.
Earlier it went into the construction phase. And aims to produce motorcycles for the local Thai market and other Southeast Asian countries in the region.
