Bangkok-headquartered independent power producer launches Thailand’s largest IPO of the year. It's 2017's fourth benchmark-sized IPO – all in the power sector.

Other winners in Thailand include Kasikorn Bank, Phatra Securities and Bualuang Securities, while Citi and Credit Suisse seal top international honours.

The country's oldest power producer hopes to replicate other recent Thai utility successes, despite a relatively weak broader market backdrop and mildly rich pricing.

If it delivers the same upside as the sector's last IPO, investors will be very happy.

Thai energy drinks manufacturer and distributor prices flotation at the top end of its range on the back of strong demand.

Investors hope the flotation of Thai energy drink Carabao will provide the same upside as the recent listings of other domestic drink manufacturers.

Under the new mandate, the US bank will provide a range of risk mitigation and financing services to Kasikorn Bank.
