  "account": "Toyota has announced it will suspend production at three plants in Thailand from October 5 to 10 due to flooding that has disrupted parts deliveries, according to Toyota Motor Thailand Co. The affected plants are located in Samut Prakan, Chachoengsao, and Chon Buri provinces. This update comes after a previous notice issued on Wednesday about production suspensions caused by flooding impacting suppliers and employees' travel to work. The duration of the suspensions at Samrong, Banpho, and Gateway plants may be adjusted based on conditions and the availability of parts deliveries. Toyota is actively monitoring the situation and working with suppliers to expedite the restoration of deliveries while managing parts inventories and production logistics. The company will provide updates, including a confirmed resumption date, promptly through relevant channels. If customers' delivery schedules are affected, Toyota will coordinate with its dealers to communicate updated information and confirm delivery dates. The Federation of Thai Industries estimates that damage caused by heavy rainfall in Thailand's eastern and central regions over the past week could exceed 1 billion baht.",
