"The plan is to extend this partnership to over 70 provinces in Thailand by the end of this year and in keeping with Thailand's 4.0 initiative, we want to do our part to enable more Thai citizens to embrace e-commerce as much as SE-ED has by bringing our store online. Since the launch of our online store in 2007, we have seen steady increase in sales and we are confident that as long as there's reliable delivery at the backend, e-commerce adoption will rise further."In addition, consumers will soon be able to use SE-ED Book Center outlets as an alternative delivery address for their domestic e-commerce orders. "It is all about keeping the customer at the center of all that we do, and this is another great example of how we are simplifying their lives," Kiattichai said.

 

"E-Commerce will continue to grow in Thailand and we are committed to enabling a better e-commerce experience for both our sellers and shoppers.
