  "account": "Toyota Motor Thailand has extended production suspensions at its Samrong, Ban Pho and Gateway plants due to ongoing flooding, with operations now expected to resume between October 14 and 19. The company initially halted production from October 5-10 as flooding disrupted parts deliveries in Samut Prakan, Chachoengsao and Chon Buri provinces. Toyota stated that production at the Samrong plant would resume on October 14, followed by the Gateway plant on October 16 and Ban Pho on October 19. However, the resumption dates are contingent on the evolving flood situation and the availability of parts deliveries. The automaker is closely monitoring the situation and working with parts suppliers to restore deliveries and adjust production plans accordingly. Toyota emphasized that the disruption may impact delivery schedules for some customers, and dealers will coordinate with these customers to provide updated delivery information once it becomes available. Commerce Minister Suphajee Suthumpun visited the Toyota plant in Samut Prakan on October 7.",
