"We are talking to many companies, not only CATL but many companies in the battery industry," said Narit Therdsteerasukdi, Secretary General of Thailand Board of Investment (BOI).
CATL, the world's dominant battery supplier with a 37% market share, currently has no production facilities in Southeast Asia, its website shows.
In the past few years, Thailand has drawn investments from EV companies, mainly Chinese, including Great Wall Motors and BYD Co (002594.SZ).
Narit said the government's goal was to direct support and subsidies to land larger battery production facilities.
CATL currently has 13 battery production hubs, 11 in China, one in Hungary and one in Germany.
