Thailand is a relatively high growth potential but very challenging market as Thai people have different life insurance purchasing behavior from people in other countries. Agency force still plays a key role in their considering and purchasing decision and be AIA Thailand’s key engine of sustainable growth to stay on leading position in life insurance business in Thailand for long decades.
