Thailand's exports are expected to rise 15% in the second quarter from a year earlier, powered by improved global demand and after coming off a low base last year, the shippers' council said on Tuesday.

While maintaining its export growth forecast of 6%-7% this year, the group said shipments could rise 10%-15% if the country can address a container shortage and high freight rates.
