Thailand Electronics Circuit Asia 2024 Kicks Off
July 24, 2024 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 1 minute
After a long and grueling experience through last week’s airline IT meltdowns, I finally touched down in Bangkok, where I’m here for the inaugural Thailand Electronics Circuit Asia (THECA) show.
The expo and technical conference kicked off Wednesday at the Bangkok International Trade and Exhibition Center, featuring an expo and a technical conference. The show is hosted by the Thailand Printed Circuit Association, founded in 2019 by Thai companies seeking to advocate for and educate the Thai electronics manufacturing sector.
The agenda for the technical conference on opening day includes presentations from MacDermid Alpha Electronic Solutions, Dr. Hayao Nakahara, ITEQ Corporation, and Kinwong Electronic Technology, Ltd. With approximately 116 exhibitors, the expo seems poised for a successful launch.
The show managers hoped to attract 250 exhibitors and 4,000 visitors seeking to stay updated on global electronic trends in the ASEAN market, and benefit from the knowledge and experience of industry leaders.
I’ll be on the show floor, meeting with exhibitors and guests, attending technical conference presentations, and reporting on what I find.
For more details on THCPA and the THECA show, read our recent interview with Swaek Prakitritanon, THPCA’s director and general secretary, and president of Auromex Do. Ltd. He was very optimistic about what the show will offer, as well as the burgeoning electronics industry in Thailand. This is sure to be a very interesting and informative experience as we explore new avenues in Southeast Asia.

IPC APEX EXPO 2025 Review: Expecting the Unexpected
03/31/2025 | Tom Kastner, GP VenturesOne of the best things about trade shows is not the scheduled meetings but the chance meetings that come up unexpectedly. Just because you happened to go down one aisle instead of the next, you bump into an old acquaintance that you have not seen for years, or you happen to talk to the guy in line next to you to get a $5 Pepsi, and it turns into a great, new connection.
