How this was counted
Counted from the MPBxChange plant register: one record per bare-board fabrication site in Thailand, each traced to public sources such as company announcements, stock exchange filings, Board of Investment approvals and the Thai company register. Assembly-only sites are not counted. A plant that has left no public trace is missing here, so read every count as "at least". The year is the year the Thai company was established, which can be earlier than the year the plant opened.
