Selling and administrative expenses were THB 575 million, down by 21%, representing 12% of the SG&A to total revenue from sales which gradually decreased compared to 16% from the previous year, as a result of the cost planning including marketing, sales promotion, and operational costs, to maximize efficient core strategy consistently.
