BANGKOK Nov 24 (Reuters) - Thailand's Eastern Water Resources EASW.BK said on Tuesday it expected 2009 net profit to rise 40 percent thanks to lower costs and a price increase.

The company planned to revise down its budget for its five-year business plan as a result of the government's stimulus packages, which aimed to invest in some water projects, President Praphant Asava-aree told reporters.
