Hello fellow classmates! This building is partly a product of a globalized economy. Thailand imports from various countries, for example, Malaysia. Thailand construction companies have partnered up with Malaysian companies to import green construction materials from Malaysia to Thailand. In 2013 Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (Matrade) shipped over RM35 billion of construction materials to Thailand. The main products that where imported from Malaysia to Thailand were tubes, pipes, iron, steel, wood, nails, screws, and nuts. All of these materials have been used seen in the building above.
