According to latest figures from Toyota Motor Thailand, auto sales in Thailand tumbled 45.6% year-onyear (y-o-y) in January 2014, to 68,508 units. The outbreak of political unrest in recent months has dashed hopes of a market recovery in 2014. To put the negative impact of the protests into perspective, the last time monthly sales were lower in absolute numbers was back in December 2011, during a year when the country was wrecked by devastating floods.
