US investors won't leave Thailand

(Bangkok Post, 26.10.2011)

The US government and American investors would continue investing in Thailand despite it being hard hit by devastating floods, US Ambassador to Thailand Kristie Kenney said on Wednesday, reports said.

The US ambassador said this after visiting Prime Minister Yingluck Shinwatra at the Flood Relief Operations Centre at Don Mueang airport this morning.

She was accompanied by a number of US investors who have interests in Thailand, according to the reports.

Mrs Kristie said she was concerned about the flood situation in Thailand.

The US government was ready to provide support for Thailand's efforts in dealing with the crisis and will invest more in Thailand after the water recedes, she added.
