BANGKOK, July 1 (Reuters): Thailand's exports in May rose a faster than expected 10.5% from a year earlier, helped by increased global food demand and production, and a weak baht, with the trend set to continue this year, the commerce minister has announced.

Exports, a key driver of Thai growth, beat a forecast rise of 6.7% in May in a Reuters poll and compared with a 9.9% increase in the previous month.
