Major Thai companies are demonstrating significant activity across their respective business sectors. AP (Thailand) PCL, a leading property developer, has launched sales for two new condominium projects in Bangkok's Charoennakhon area: LIFE Charoennakhon–Sathorn and RHYTHM Charoennakhon Iconic. These projects target different segments of the riverside condominium market, with selling prices around THB140,000/sqm and THB180,000/sqm, respectively.

The company aims to deploy its "One-Stop Precast Solution," which can reduce construction time by up to 50%. Meanwhile, Charoen Pokphand Foods PCL (CPF), Thailand's major integrated agro-industrial and food group, is facing a class-action lawsuit regarding blackchin tilapia, as the appeals court has allowed the case to proceed. The company has informed the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) that this is a procedural matter and does not acknowledge liability. In the telecommunications sector, True Corporation PCL (TRUE) has secured contracts as an internet service provider for the northern and central regions under the government's USO 3 project, which aims to provide high-speed internet services in underserved and remote areas.
