Net profit for the second quarter of 2019 is THB 4.64 million, from THB 5.63 million in the same period of 2018, decreased by THB 0.99 million or 17.58%, which was mainly due to an increase in employee benefit expenses according to the new Labor Protection Act ( Adjusting the compensation rate for employees who working for 20 years to receive compensation from 300 days to 400 days), together with a slightly lower in sales volume.
