I’m Thai and i love Indonesia. Outside of Thailand, Indonesia is the country i love the most. I will travel to Indonesia for sure after the pandemic is over.
Thailand has a mixed economic system in which there is a variety of private freedom, combined with centralized economic planning and government regulation.
really appreciate the info. it really scares me to go into this market. I've conceded the thoughts for a while tho but I have to effectively watch and manage the way I spend. I work off two jobs but it doesn't get better. any favourable info would be really appreciated..
be careful with trading, yes you can make money doing it but more people fail than succed. investing especially dividend investing can create much more wealth long term if you're under 30. if you're older and just starting, trading might be your best bet. But do a lot of research. best of luck to you.

I’m from India , Living in Thailand , Krabi province 🇹🇭 I feel more comfortable here as my home town , good & bad people everywhere , from my point of view Thailand is the perfect destination for holiday & Living . Anyhow I’m not satisfied with their visa procedures for living but still feels good .
I have gone to Thailand . It's an amazing place with good and hospitable people . Most of the area's of Thailand are pretty much developed while in some areas there's problems and poverty just like any other country in the world . I like Pattaya and the Aquarium in Bangkok the most . The economy is much more than tourism and the infrastructure is pretty well maintained .
@@JudgeDredd888 so what’s bad about Thailand in terms of permanently living there? I heard is becoming more unbearable and more expensive/ripoff? Flooding, hurricane and tsunami’s are one of my worries, also immigration is inconvenient and doing things online is not their forte…still kinda backwards dont you think? Idk tell me.
It's a fact that every Thai farmer's family has a truck to transport their agricultural produce. But the middle class of neighboring Thailand can only afford motorbikes and bicycles.
@@kittenastrophy5951 Thailand is definetely not a small country, and it's true that Bangkok is the only major city in the country. I don't think it's a big problem though
As a Thai, I don't care that much about economy growth or income level but I care about quality of life, it is so convenient here. I have traveled and worked in many developed countries, never thought of immigrating there.
As a country, Thailand is not a poor country. Thailand is a middle-income country, both in term of GDP or GDP Per Capita. One of the main problems is inequality. Wealth and opportunity distribution need to be improved. Thailand has many weak points, but also have many strong points. What Thai government and Thai people need to do is to reduce the weak points and to strengthen the strong points. Having a continue development, despite the effects of 1997 Asian Economic Crisis and many periods of Thai political crisis, means that Thailand has the capacity. Thailand doesn't stop being developed as many Thai people think. The development is still going, even not so fast, depend on many factors in each periods. If Thailand can find the proper ways to use the capacity and resources that Thailand has, along with adjust what are still lacking, such as good and equal education, I believe that Thailand can be improved faster and more developed than Thailand has ever been.
...And respect to Taiwan for a successful independent state /nation and democracy there too - way before China developed it's economy -but Thailand has no democracy and an absolute totalitarian monarchy and an unelected, military Junta.
I’ve read the comments and I found that many comments, nearly all of them, viewed Thailand so positively, even if they criticized, they criticized with academic facts and reasonable. It’s really great that many people like Thailand even they have never visited the country. I’m sorry if something or someone in Thailand disappointed some foreigners. And I would like to say “Thank you very much.” for everyone who likes Thailand. :)
Besides Singapore, Thailand is the richest in Asean And the second most developed after Singapore. I'm Taiwanese in ASEAN. I've been to almost every country. Then the following developments: 1 Singapore 2 Thailand 3 Malaysia 4 Indonesia 5 Philippines 6 Vietnam 7 Cambodia 8 Myanmar 9 Laos respectively.
Absolutely agree with you. I have Been travel and worked in SEA and Thailand is after Singapore. I thought Malaysia was number 2 but in reality most of their rural areas aren't developed as the same as Thailand overall by far. In countryside of Thailand they got everything in needed for modern life even they are farmers
Thailand has fallen into middle income trap. it has neither advanced industries nor good research abilities. it is a beautiful country but absolutely needs reforms and huge investments in R&D. Tourism can not save a country.
It's a fact that every Thai farmer's family has a truck to transport their agricultural produce. But the middle class of neighboring Thailand can only afford motorbikes and bicycles.
The other strength of Thailand that this video did not mentioned is a cultural industry. Thailand has made great movies such as Ong-Bak, Shutter, Alone, Bad Genius, Brother Of The Year, Friend Zone, Homestay, The Teacher's Diary, etc. Their works got high quality and are getting better. And besides, Thailand's story market is growing rapidly through the internet and mobile platforms, webtoon and webnovel. You did a great job, Thailand! I support you from South Korea. : )
Thank you for your comment and I agree with you about this topic. Moreover than agriculture, tourism and industry which Thailand can do well, even the industry should be more developed to be 4.0 or innovative industry, I think that other fields which Thailand can do well and should be more supported to be more developed is Medical Tourism and Entertainment Industry. The medical sciences is very popular in Thailand and many students who have high capacity choose to study in this field, so the medical section in Thailand has many people from oversea accepted. If there’s more supports and promotes, the Medical Tourism will be more developed. For Entertainment Industry, even Thai entertainment industry hasn't reached the Asian or Global areana like the Entertainment Industry of Japan or South Korea does, there are many foreigners who are fans of Thai entertainment industry. You can see that there are many comments in English or other languages in many Thai Films, Series or MVs. For Thai songs, Thailand also starts to develop T Pop too. Actually, T Pop is not something new. From my point of view, I think that there are 4 eras of T Pop. 1.First Era - This era was during 1980s and early 1990s. 2.Golden Era - This era was during 1990s to early 2000s. During the 1980s, with the investment from many countries especially Japan, Thailand's manufacturing industry was developed and made Thailand become Middle Income Country. With more wealth, Thailand had more chance to developed entertainment industry. This era was affected much after 1997 Asian Financial Economic Crisis, but the development was still going. 3.Kamikaze Era - Nothing about Japanese history. It is just a name of music company. This era was during middle 2000s to 2010s. There were many popular Boy Groups and Girl Groups from this company. Some groups had Japanese and Korean members. Many Thais also view that this is another Golden Era of T Pop. 4.Diversity Era - The current Era. I think that there are many styles of Thai Boy Groups and Girl Groups and Solo Artists during this era. Thanks to the online platform like RUclips, many new artists and companies have their own way to produce and distribute the songs and MVs. They don’t need to depend on big companies like in the past. For the Idol Style, it began after the great success of BNK48 after they and Koi Suru Fortune Cookie became very popular and became national phoenomenon in late 2017 and early 2018. Many Thai actors, artists and behind the scene working teams also work oversea including in South Korean or in the US. And many Thai Entertainment products and people also won many Asian awards. This shows that Thai entertainment industry has the capacity to be more developed. I think that the important factor that Thai entertainment industry is still lacking of is "Continuity". We have great artists and behind the scene working teams, but the development is not so continuous. If Thai entertainment industry want to go to Asian or Global areana, the development has to be continuous, not only when the industry is on the trend. Like the case of Japanese or South Korean entertainment industry. They have to take very long time to reach the global areana like they are today. At this point, even Thailand hasn’t been able to compete with them directly yet, Thai entertainment industry can be an “alternate choice” for the global audiences when they want to find the new entertainment.
And people still blindly love Thaksin and his sister. Thanatorn, one of the masterminds behind the recent protests, was a beneficiary of the first car scheme.
Yes, and those support of the Shinawatras are blaming the current government for it, while the corruption of rice pledging program and other failed policies cost the country million and millions of baht. I cannot understand why there are still some Thais who support the Shinawatras.
@@Nous98 Yes, billions and billions of Baht. We are still paying at least 1 billion US dollars a year for it. I mean coups are bad obviously, but nobody could stand and watch the country being burned to the ground by corruptions.
You forget to mention one very inportant things about Thai economy. The shadow economy in Thailand is nearly half of it GDP the higest among large economy country, there are many other countries with the same issue but they are not as extreme as Thailand. many poor people here are not actually as poor as it seems but they just dont like to declare their true income and they also dont save their money in cash or even in the Bank , the rich are even more wealthier though.There are still those who is really poor and they totally need help but many are not suppose to get help at all. It's something that person from a develope countries wouldnt understand how it does work.
It’s so easy to avoid tax here. My family runs 2 small hotels with the profit of prox 300k a month. We somehow declare the income of only 9k a month. I cant believe how many others do the same.
Thai ppl don't like depositing my cash in the bank. I like to buy land And earn huge profits When will sell for some in the next 10 years, while interest in banks hardly moves.
I don't feel surprised at all. Thailand traditionally opens to foreign traders, far more than China did since 15th century. In fact, we feel safer to practice Islam and Christianity in Thailand than in China, just to name a few. Thailand will go on to become one of the most developed economies in Asia, its GDP in total matched up with that of Oman and Jordan.
Who are “we”? Bit weird that you speak for both Islam and Christianity. Buddhism is the state religion of Thailand; that makes Thailand institutionally really unfriendly for non-Buddhist and atheists... most importantly, weird comparison with China...
@@nehcooahnait7827 That's because Chinese nationalists always insist that China is a "tolerant" country free for every religious people, which I found ironic considering China's history of violent persecution of different ethnic and religious groups. I know Thailand is Buddhist nation, but at least it didn't discriminate by religion as China does.
@@ottomanosman2463 Thailand has been opened to the foreigners since the ancient time. During the Ayutthaya period, there were the title of “Port Department” to conduct the trade. There were Left and Right Port Department designated by turning the face to the estuary of Chao Phraya River, the Left of the estuary or the east if looking from the map was under the Left Port Department conducted by the Chinese to control the trade between Ayutthaya and Eastern countries especially China and Japan, and some areas which were under the Western influence such as the Philippines under the Spanish and Dutch East Indies, Indonesia in the present, under the Dutch. The Right of the estuary or the west if looking from the map was under Right Port Department conducted by the Persian to control the trade between Ayutthaya and Western Countries from Indi, Persia, the Middle East, to the Western European Countries. There are many families descended from the Chinese and Persian who worked in the departments. For the Persian. One Persian merchant Sheikh Ahmad and his brother Muhamad Sa-id and subordinates, settled in Ayutthaya around 1600. Sheikh Ahmad worked in Royal Palace and was granted the noble title. He was also the founder of Bunnag noble family which many members had the roles in Thai history. Many male members worked as bureaucrats and had the high ranking status. Many female members were concubines of the Kings, so many princes and princeses descended from this family. Until the present day, many members of Bunnag family have the high ranking status in Thai bureacracy, such as ambassadors. There were also people from other nationalities, Portuguese, Japanese, etc. who did the trade, worked in Royal Siamese Court or became the mercenaries in the Siamese troops during the Ayutthaya period. During the Rattanakosin Kingdom, especially during the modernization of King Rama V (King Chulalongkorn, 1853 - 1910, reigned 1868 - 1910), the Siamese government also hired many Europeans to assist the Siamese government to be modernized, so Siam could escape the Western Colonialism.
Many young Thai generations are educated and can be a force for the development. There are many Thai people who graduated with Engineering and Science degrees, as both degrees are important to develop the innovative economy under Thailand 4.0 Policy, and many Thai government agencies increase Research and Development budgets more than in the past. And there are also many scholarship programs to award the students who have capacity to study Engineering and Science, both in major Thai universities and oversea. This needs to take times to develop. As I know, Thailand has many engineers and scientists, but the problem, along with improving education to be more quality and well distributed to every parts of the country equally, is the motivation, many people with these degrees tend to work oversea with higher salary. There are some Thai people working in big high - tech companies in Silicon Valley or other parts of the US, some even work for the NASA, some work in other big high-tech companies in other countries such as Japan. And many students who have capacity don't want to be engineers or scientists. They tend to study medical science to be the doctors or dentists instead. By the way, Thai government tries to use this point to make Thailand be the medical hub in the region. If education has more quality and better distributed equally and the government has the good motivation for the people with high capacity to work in Thailand, I think that Thailand 4.0 Policy will not be a too far goal to reach for Thailand.

The current government's claim of economic progress even contradicted to its own chamber of commerce reports. Trade agreement are often times dismiss for last minute PM's egotistical ideas.

As an American in Thailand intermittently, I think their protectionist attitudes were what gave them an advantage. I think they have had the right idea in mind but the execution has not been perfect. Their future depends on services.

Turkey is in sad state, it has been under economic crisis and despite pleas, China and Russia do not want to help them because Turkey has constantly carried pan-Turkist imperialism with hope to separate Turkic and Muslim lands from China and Russia. Iran is a 60% centralized country, and Iranian economy isn't free. Russia is a country desperate for oil, gas and other resources; Russia simply doesn't have an economy. FIFA awarded Russia the 2018 World Cup to cover Russia's economic failures since Gianni Infantino is a corrupt pro-Russian puppet.
It should also be noted that Thailand has a very low population growth rate, the lowest in southeast Asia, then low GDP growth is understandable. In 2019, 3 other neighboring countries compared to Thailand, Malaysia’s GDP growth rate was around 1.3 times higher, but population growth rate was almost 5 times higher. Philippine’s GDP growth rate was around 2 times higher, but population growth rate was almost 5 times higher. Vietnam’s GDP growth rate was around 2 times higher, but population growth rate was around 3.5 times higher. Among these 4 countries, even though Thailand has the lowest growth in “GDP”, its growth in “GDP per capita” is the highest.
I've been trying to make this point for a while now, and you're the first person I've seen make the same argument. Thailand's population growth is the same as Germany's.
Actually, Singapore has the lowest population growth rate since 1994 and Malaysia's GDP per capita is 50% higher than that of Thai's under both nominal and PPP basis. Population wise, Vietnam's rate is only 26% higher (1.9 vs 1.5), even less for Malaysia. Facts wrong, hypothesis weak, correlation exists but not strong enough to explain the cause.
Thai people don't wanna have kids because of the f++king military dictatorship!!! If you look at the graph, ever since Prayuth Chanocha (aka King's Puppet) came into power, people stopped having kids because we are concerned about our future! The cost of living has skyrocketed but wages are the same since 7 years ago when he came into power!
As a Thai people. Our biggest problem is government. They never support made-in-Thailand technology or product fully. They never give you any fund or protective market. They're just give you a smile and that's it. Thai people have skilled and idea. But How could small fish swim in the big ocean with a lot of big fish? Government will never stand by your side unless you're successful.
The name of this video is the name I’ve thought about if there will be a video about Thai economy. Thai economy is more than tourism. Even it is a big part of the GDP, only tourism cannot make Thailand become the middle - income country. Thailand had to develop the industry to bring the wealth and investment to the country, so the Thai economy is about the industry and tourism like in other country, not just the tourism as many people understand.
For some countries which always say that Thailand doesn’t have any wars so Thailand has the chance to develop. Thailand has some conflicts with other countries or other internal issues like other countries. Even they might not be as big as other countries’ wars. Moreover than the wars between Siam and Burma and other Kingdoms in the ancient time, Siam (The name was changed to Thailand in 1939) also had war with France in 1893, 1940. World War II, Communist Insurgency during the 1960s - 1980s, Southern Thailand Insurgencies, the clashes at the borders, etc. Every country has their own issues. Just the medias don’t report doesn’t mean that we are in peace for a long time.

So knowing that Thailand has a decreasing FDI-rate and an unstable political situation, why is the Thai baht by far the strongest currency in South East Asia already for years???
conservative monetary policy paired with a trade account surplus creates high confidence, also low inflation levels. There'S a decreasing FDI rate, but indirect investment is on the rise.
1. Thailand have built every infrastructure (water supply, electricity, train, telephone, road, bank , ... etc)by themselves before 1900. 2. Thailand have built the entertainment industry and light industry before 1940 (pre WW2) 3. Thailand have built the heavy industry (car, electronics, ... etc) before1960 (post WW2) 4. Thailand have built express way and petroleum industry in the 80th 5. Thailand currency was attacked by George Soros in 1997. Thai companies were sold to American corp cheaply. Thai car companies were forced to sell to German and Japanese companies. 6. First Thailand's metro trains system were finished in 1999. 7. Populism policy such as "rice pledge" and " first car " create huge debt between 2000 - 2010 8. The rising of tourism industry because of American movie, Chinese movie and more Thai metro trains system after 2012. Next. Thailand 4.0 ( Now, Thailand can achieve cashless society.)

Your jealousy is only becoming their tools for achievement of their One China campaign in ASEAN domination.

I think they're obsessed with the fact that they should have been a superpower, but they don't understand the situation of Vietnamese economy has not been promising as expected, it has grown very slow after reforming for 20 years; whereas other countries have gone far in just the same timeline, for example Thailand. I have dealt with such a person like that, who insulted, shouting and yelling me as an American propagandist, but refused to acknowledge internal problems of Vietnamese economy and society that hampers their process.

The buffer state is an excuse of British and France that they can’t take Thailand. Buffer zone that British and France want is just a small area not the whole Thailand. Siam was smart to play both politics and diplomatic and Siam knew they can’t trust both British and France cuz this two holding hand with each other behind the scene for benefits. France used to claim war indemnity from Siam 3 millions francs and have to pay in coin in 2 day if Siam can’t pay they will use this excuse to colonize Siam and they think Siam can’t pay but our king Rama3 had been saving the money through his reign call เงินถุงแดง (red bag money) France can’t believe it that Siam can find 3 millions francs in coins so they only can colonized Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. It many more that British and France try to expand their power to Siam but we smart to play the game.
I live in Bangkok and invest in Thailand's economy. The only concern for me is ease of ability to move capital outside the country. I have heard of stories where foreigners have been charged with money laundering when they legally tried to move their money out after say, selling their condos. Anyway, as Indians are given tax breaks for capital gains investments along with several other countries, I feel comfortable investing. And yes, I think Thailand and Thai people have a bright future ahead, as long as they diversify and innovate.
The Land bridge project is just a knock off version of the Thai Canal... It is just there to stall time until the Thai Canal project can **finally** begin.
The thing is, MRT / BTS in Bangkok is priced for middle class people. The blue collar/minimum wage working class can rarely afford to ride those trains. It's pretty expensive fare if you compare it to Thai people's income.
Twenty years ago, exactly 20 years ago, the Vietnamese government encouraged businesses to compete with Thailand, we always consider Thailand's beautiful country as a standard to follow, I know Vietnam is poorer than Thailand. But we will try 🇻🇳❤🇹🇭🙏🙏🙏

Been living and working in the manufacturing sector of Thailand for 6 years now... Here are some problems not discussed here. 1. Foreign investment is slowing down from a multitude of factors. Instability is a major one. But so are rising costs of labor and living. And better options are becoming available. Since I've moved here most companies I know of, including my own, have built new factories in Vietnam and Cambodia. 2. Politics here is so corrupt. Thailand is similar to that episode of The Simpsons when Hollywood goes to make the Radioactive Man movie in Springfield. They get ripped off so much that they leave. This is the bureaucratic attitude of the government of Thailand to foreigners, with this ridiculous belief that there will always be more suckers to rip off. 3. Thai people have some of the lowest confidence in the world, which holds back a lot of them from making their own businesses beyond necessary services, like bars, restaurants and hair salons. The nationalist government spends so much time teaching kids at school to behave and fit in, and very little about being innovative, creative or pushing boundaries, that they don't have a lot of faith in themselves to succeed. Plus the country is dominated by factories from 1 country - Japan. If you haven't worked under Japanese they have a strong sense of arrogance towards other races. They also assume authoritarian roles in the workforce. So a lot of Thais who graduate and work for Japanese companies come into careers where they are treated like 2nd class citizens in a servitude role. Not the best environment to promote entrepreneurship. 4. The education system here is considered mandatory for success, but most Thais have no interest in what they study. That Asian mentality of 'doctor, engineer, doctor, engineer' is strong here. And middle-class women are told to go to uni to do office work but, as there is no feminism in Thailand, they're mostly just going to uni to get an office job, find a husband and then get pregnant so they can then quit and be the housewives they always wanted to be. None of them want careers.
One of the key goals for Thailand 4.0 is to become a global hub for electric car manufacturing. Really curious to see how the government will make it happen. There are rumors that TESLA has been talking to both Thai and Indonesian governments. The reason why Thai economy/FDI has not been so great recently is because we have been under military dictatorship government since 2013. The same prime minister for 7 years who clearly has no idea how to run a country.
You will see more curious that the Minister of Science and Technology said that Thailand will send a space shuttle around the moon in 7 years when they are not capable of making a missile ...
As a foreigner, i have studied and worked in thaialnd for 6 yrs. Very lovely country. Sadly the world stereotype Thailand as the land of clubbing and partying but thats not the case.

I am German and I have lived in Thailand for more than one year now. In my personal experience here in Bangkok, Thailand is far more technically and economically advanced than the statistics show. I can have a very luxurious life for a low amount of money as like in no other cheap country. Thailand is surrounded by very poor countries.

If Thailand's economics relies on tourism alone as accusations, why its economic growth is always declining along the last 2 decades of tourism booming period till today ? You can see from statistics Thailand's economic growth started peaking 60 years ago and is slowly declining in linear trend till today. Haters please be rational. No accusing/trolling with fake story, stereotypes, autocrat nor dictation, please.
Thailand was hit by a corrupted politicians in the first 14 years of the 20th century. Especially Thaksin, leader of the red shirt rebellion(who burned Bangkok) and current anti-monarchy mob, who used populist policies to win big support from majority of people in the North and Northeastern Thailand who are predominantly farmers with low income. However, he twists around laws for his own benefit; create a disastrous rice scheme and first car scheme; and sold out Thailand gold mines and oil factories to foreign companies most notably owned by U.S., Australia, Singapore, and E.U.. Nowadays, the source of political instability is contributed by foreigners. All main stream medias are owned by Thaksin who continues to incite insurrection in Thailand. This is what your media refuses to tell you. Why should you trust me? I'm a Thai college student who lives in Bangkok. Hopefully this offers a new beneficial insight in Thailand. A dark one, really.
@@user-wy4bx9ko6s That's irrelevant to this comment. The point is about people claim with stereotypes that Thais can't develop country without money from tourism while real statistics indicate tourism has nothing to do with Thai economic growth, that's all. Dude, practice more reading skill. It helps with your perception.
@@mytube9182 Could you not be so mean as to accuse someone of being academically incompetent? I'm just trying to explain, additionally, the reasons behind Thailand economic declination. If the government in the last 20 years refuses to develop a high technological industry while being embedded with extreme corruption, how does the nation expected to improve with it's economic growth? Especially after Asian crisis? That is my point. It doesn't hurt to read something new which provide new details and insights which "supports" your claim mate. Chill out.
@@mytube9182 It should also be noted that Thailand has a very low population growth rate, the lowest in southeast Asia, then low GDP growth is understandable. In 2019, 3 other neighboring countries compared to Thailand, Malaysia’s GDP growth rate was around 1.3 times higher, but population growth rate was almost 5 times higher. Philippine’s GDP growth rate was around 2 times higher, but population growth rate was almost 5 times higher. Vietnam’s GDP growth rate was around 2 times higher, but population growth rate was around 3.5 times higher. Among these 4 countries, even though Thailand has the lowest growth in “GDP”, its growth in “GDP per capita” is the highest.

You’re right. Those populist policies from old government during 2011-2014 were make a huge wound and damage to Thailand ‘s economy system. Hope we can bounce back and stronger. Right now new government focus on the infrastructure, logistics, green technology, develop human resources. Hope everything moves as planned and hope Covid disappear soon. It's hurt us badly right now.
To improve tourism industry in Thailand. The government launched the "Touring in Minor Cites" campaign to persuade Thai and foreign tourists to travel more to minor cities, moreover than Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket and other major cities, to distributed the wealth to the minor cities. From my point of view, to fulfill this policy, there have to be more promotion and, like how to persuade more investors to invest more in other regions, there have to be more infrastructure development to the minor cities. When the infrastructure is well developed, there will be more investments and tourism in the minor cities.

One thing that I like when I read the comment section is many Thais have the comments or discussions with the foreigners in English, some of them can do it very well. Thai people have been criticized both in Thailand and oversea for very long time about their English ability. The comment section shows that there are many more Thai people who can use English very well and there will be more Thai people with high capacity in the future.
You touched on restrictive purchase/use of land. Given the proximity and influence of China, this can only be a good thing. The abuse that Cambodia is suffering from China (casinos, sand extraction from the Mekong), would only be repeated here.
I think we should make a video about South Korean economy, one of the only few economies in the world to grow during COVID. South Korea is an amazing example here too.
I'm Korean, but we didn't grow. We have a minus growth in 2020, and luckily, just recorded less minus. It is Taiwan that has plus growth in 2020. Taiwan did well in both quarantine and economic growth.

Thailand has a mixed economic system in which there is a variety of private freedom, combined with centralized economic planning and government regulation.

be careful with trading, yes you can make money doing it but more people fail than succed. investing especially dividend investing can create much more wealth long term if you're under 30. if you're older and just starting, trading might be your best bet. But do a lot of research. best of luck to you.

@@tqverimuch1743 Yes i left a comment as a sign of agreement to the main comment. I like Thailand..
As a country, Thailand is not a poor country. Thailand is a middle-income country, both in term of GDP or GDP Per Capita. One of the main problems is inequality. Wealth and opportunity distribution need to be improved. Thailand has many weak points, but also have many strong points. What Thai government and Thai people need to do is to reduce the weak points and to strengthen the strong points. Having a continue development, despite the effects of 1997 Asian Economic Crisis and many periods of Thai political crisis, means that Thailand has the capacity. Thailand doesn't stop being developed as many Thai people think. The development is still going, even not so fast, depend on many factors in each periods. If Thailand can find the proper ways to use the capacity and resources that Thailand has, along with adjust what are still lacking, such as good and equal education, I believe that Thailand can be improved faster and more developed than Thailand has ever been.
Thailand is on-par with Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines & now Vietnam as middle income country with massive economic growths.

Thailand has fallen into middle income trap. it has neither advanced industries nor good research abilities. it is a beautiful country but absolutely needs reforms and huge investments in R&D. Tourism can not save a country.
It's a fact that every Thai farmer's family has a truck to transport their agricultural produce. But the middle class of neighboring Thailand can only afford motorbikes and bicycles.
The other strength of Thailand that this video did not mentioned is a cultural industry. Thailand has made great movies such as Ong-Bak, Shutter, Alone, Bad Genius, Brother Of The Year, Friend Zone, Homestay, The Teacher's Diary, etc. Their works got high quality and are getting better. And besides, Thailand's story market is growing rapidly through the internet and mobile platforms, webtoon and webnovel. You did a great job, Thailand! I support you from South Korea. : )
Thank you for your comment and I agree with you about this topic. Moreover than agriculture, tourism and industry which Thailand can do well, even the industry should be more developed to be 4.0 or innovative industry, I think that other fields which Thailand can do well and should be more supported to be more developed is Medical Tourism and Entertainment Industry. The medical sciences is very popular in Thailand and many students who have high capacity choose to study in this field, so the medical section in Thailand has many people from oversea accepted. If there’s more supports and promotes, the Medical Tourism will be more developed. For Entertainment Industry, even Thai entertainment industry hasn't reached the Asian or Global areana like the Entertainment Industry of Japan or South Korea does, there are many foreigners who are fans of Thai entertainment industry. You can see that there are many comments in English or other languages in many Thai Films, Series or MVs. For Thai songs, Thailand also starts to develop T Pop too. Actually, T Pop is not something new. From my point of view, I think that there are 4 eras of T Pop.
1.First Era - This era was during 1980s and early 1990s.
2.Golden Era - This era was during 1990s to early 2000s. During the 1980s, with the investment from many countries especially Japan, Thailand's manufacturing industry was developed and made Thailand become Middle Income Country. With more wealth, Thailand had more chance to developed entertainment industry. This era was affected much after 1997 Asian Financial Economic Crisis, but the development was still going.
3.Kamikaze Era - Nothing about Japanese history. It is just a name of music company. This era was during middle 2000s to 2010s. There were many popular Boy Groups and Girl Groups from this company. Some groups had Japanese and Korean members. Many Thais also view that this is another Golden Era of T Pop.
4.Diversity Era - The current Era. I think that there are many styles of Thai Boy Groups and Girl Groups and Solo Artists during this era. Thanks to the online platform like RUclips, many new artists and companies have their own way to produce and distribute the songs and MVs. They don’t need to depend on big companies like in the past. For the Idol Style, it began after the great success of BNK48 after they and Koi Suru Fortune Cookie became very popular and became national phoenomenon in late 2017 and early 2018.
Many Thai actors, artists and behind the scene working teams also work oversea including in South Korean or in the US. And many Thai Entertainment products and people also won many Asian awards. This shows that Thai entertainment industry has the capacity to be more developed. I think that the important factor that Thai entertainment industry is still lacking of is "Continuity". We have great artists and behind the scene working teams, but the development is not so continuous. If Thai entertainment industry want to go to Asian or Global areana, the development has to be continuous, not only when the industry is on the trend. Like the case of Japanese or South Korean entertainment industry. They have to take very long time to reach the global areana like they are today. At this point, even Thailand hasn’t been able to compete with them directly yet, Thai entertainment industry can be an “alternate choice” for the global audiences when they want to find the new entertainment.

Yes, and those support of the Shinawatras are blaming the current government for it, while the corruption of rice pledging program and other failed policies cost the country million and millions of baht. I cannot understand why there are still some Thais who support the Shinawatras.

You forget to mention one very inportant things about Thai economy. The shadow economy in Thailand is nearly half of it GDP the higest among large economy country, there are many other countries with the same issue but they are not as extreme as Thailand. many poor people here are not actually as poor as it seems but they just dont like to declare their true income and they also dont save their money in cash or even in the Bank , the rich are even more wealthier though.There are still those who is really poor and they totally need help but many are not suppose to get help at all. It's something that person from a develope countries wouldnt understand how it does work.
It’s so easy to avoid tax here.

@@sorryIdontGetIt exactly !
When the Thais have enough money first thing they do is to buy land. Collecting land is the Rich’s hobby.

I don't feel surprised at all. Thailand traditionally opens to foreign traders, far more than China did since 15th century. In fact, we feel safer to practice Islam and Christianity in Thailand than in China, just to name a few. Thailand will go on to become one of the most developed economies in Asia, its GDP in total matched up with that of Oman and Jordan.

@@nehcooahnait7827 That's because Chinese nationalists always insist that China is a "tolerant" country free for every religious people, which I found ironic considering China's history of violent persecution of different ethnic and religious groups.

@@ottomanosman2463 Thailand has been opened to the foreigners since the ancient time. During the Ayutthaya period, there were the title of “Port Department” to conduct the trade. There were Left and Right Port Department designated by turning the face to the estuary of Chao Phraya River, the Left of the estuary or the east if looking from the map was under the Left Port Department conducted by the Chinese to control the trade between Ayutthaya and Eastern countries especially China and Japan, and some areas which were under the Western influence such as the Philippines under the Spanish and Dutch East Indies, Indonesia in the present, under the Dutch. The Right of the estuary or the west if looking from the map was under Right Port Department conducted by the Persian to control the trade between Ayutthaya and Western Countries from Indi, Persia, the Middle East, to the Western European Countries. There are many families descended from the Chinese and Persian who worked in the departments. For the Persian. One Persian merchant Sheikh Ahmad and his brother Muhamad Sa-id and subordinates, settled in Ayutthaya around 1600. Sheikh Ahmad worked in Royal Palace and was granted the noble title. He was also the founder of Bunnag noble family which many members had the roles in Thai history. Many male members worked as bureaucrats and had the high ranking status. Many female members were concubines of the Kings, so many princes and princeses descended from this family. Until the present day, many members of Bunnag family have the high ranking status in Thai bureacracy, such as ambassadors. There were also people from other nationalities, Portuguese, Japanese, etc. who did the trade, worked in Royal Siamese Court or became the mercenaries in the Siamese troops during the Ayutthaya period. During the Rattanakosin Kingdom, especially during the modernization of King Rama V (King Chulalongkorn, 1853 - 1910, reigned 1868 - 1910), the Siamese government also hired many Europeans to assist the Siamese government to be modernized, so Siam could escape the Western Colonialism.
To have high tech industry, you need to have a highly educated workforce. To have Thailand 4.0 you need to ensure the youth are educated.
They still teach kids about fighting with Myanmar and try to do stupid propaganda about king riding elephant
Many young Thai generations are educated and can be a force for the development. There are many Thai people who graduated with Engineering and Science degrees, as both degrees are important to develop the innovative economy under Thailand 4.0 Policy, and many Thai government agencies increase Research and Development budgets more than in the past. And there are also many scholarship programs to award the students who have capacity to study Engineering and Science, both in major Thai universities and oversea. This needs to take times to develop. As I know, Thailand has many engineers and scientists, but the problem, along with improving education to be more quality and well distributed to every parts of the country equally, is the motivation, many people with these degrees tend to work oversea with higher salary. There are some Thai people working in big high - tech companies in Silicon Valley or other parts of the US, some even work for the NASA, some work in other big high-tech companies in other countries such as Japan. And many students who have capacity don't want to be engineers or scientists. They tend to study medical science to be the doctors or dentists instead. By the way, Thai government tries to use this point to make Thailand be the medical hub in the region. If education has more quality and better distributed equally and the government has the good motivation for the people with high capacity to work in Thailand, I think that Thailand 4.0 Policy will not be a too far goal to reach for Thailand.

The name of this video is the name I’ve thought about if there will be a video about Thai economy. Thai economy is more than tourism. Even it is a big part of the GDP, only tourism cannot make Thailand become the middle - income country. Thailand had to develop the industry to bring the wealth and investment to the country, so the Thai economy is about the industry and tourism like in other country, not just the tourism as many people understand.
For some countries which always say that Thailand doesn’t have any wars so Thailand has the chance to develop. Thailand has some conflicts with other countries or other internal issues like other countries. Even they might not be as big as other countries’ wars. Moreover than the wars between Siam and Burma and other Kingdoms in the ancient time, Siam (The name was changed to Thailand in 1939) also had war with France in 1893, 1940. World War II, Communist Insurgency during the 1960s - 1980s, Southern Thailand Insurgencies, the clashes at the borders, etc. Every country has their own issues. Just the medias don’t report doesn’t mean that we are in peace for a long time.

I love your vids and i would highly appreciate it if you could make a video about the EU having two currencies. 1 for the rich and 1 for the poorer countries.
Interesting thought
That would be interesting.
Agricultural processing industry And car production base Is the heart of the Thai economy It is not tourism as foreigners understand. Only a small percentage of people will benefit from the tourism industry.
I have seen incredible growth over the last 40 years, compared to many western countries including my country Canada. So many westerners know very little about Asian culture; the holly wood beach movies are top of mind. Yes I am very interested in any info you can provide about the Thai Canal project.

@@feelingsensation2744 no gov in this world needs their currency becoming too strong. in contras they are trying to manipulate baht to being not too strong but they can't do that much as Thailand is in observing list of America gov.

So knowing that Thailand has a decreasing FDI-rate and an unstable political situation, why is the Thai baht by far the strongest currency in South East Asia already for years???
conservative monetary policy paired with a trade account surplus creates high confidence, also low inflation levels. There'S a decreasing FDI rate, but indirect investment is on the rise.
Many want to buy baht. No so many want to sell baht.
@@Bhatmann That’s a very impressive answer to me. 😅😅😅😅😅
1. Thailand have built every infrastructure (water supply, electricity, train, telephone, road, bank , ... etc)by themselves before 1900.
2. Thailand have built the entertainment industry and light industry before 1940 (pre WW2)
3. Thailand have built the heavy industry (car, electronics, ... etc) before1960 (post WW2)
4. Thailand have built express way and petroleum industry in the 80th
5. Thailand currency was attacked by George Soros in 1997. Thai companies were sold to American corp cheaply. Thai car companies were forced to sell to German and Japanese companies.
6. First Thailand's metro trains system were finished in 1999.
7. Populism policy such as "rice pledge" and " first car " create huge debt between 2000 - 2010
8. The rising of tourism industry because of American movie, Chinese movie and more Thai metro trains system after 2012.
Next. Thailand 4.0 ( Now, Thailand can achieve cashless society.)

To attacking Vietnamese here:
Stop spreading negativity. China is buying your country along with Lao and Cambodia to gain their hands over ASEAN affairs. Your jealousy is only becoming their tools for achievement of their One China campaign in ASEAN domination.
You're fool to think they'll let you borrow their money for granted just to let your petty wish to win the region economic race come true. The competition itself is nonsense. I always don't understand why you Viet are so obsessed to be No.1.
Development needs time and perseverance, not just winning every games.
I think they're obsessed with the fact that they should have been a superpower, but they don't understand the situation of Vietnamese economy has not been promising as expected, it has grown very slow after reforming for 20 years; whereas other countries have gone far in just the same timeline, for example Thailand.
I have dealt with such a person like that, who insulted, shouting and yelling me as an American propagandist, but refused to acknowledge internal problems of Vietnamese economy and society that hampers their process.

The buffer state is an excuse of British and France that they can’t take Thailand. Buffer zone that British and France want is just a small area not the whole Thailand. Siam was smart to play both politics and diplomatic and Siam knew they can’t trust both British and France cuz this two holding hand with each other behind the scene for benefits. France used to claim war indemnity from Siam 3 millions francs and have to pay in coin in 2 day if Siam can’t pay they will use this excuse to colonize Siam and they think Siam can’t pay but our king Rama3 had been saving the money through his reign call เงินถุงแดง (red bag money) France can’t believe it that Siam can find 3 millions francs in coins so they only can colonized Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. It many more that British and France try to expand their power to Siam but we smart to play the game.

I live in Bangkok and invest in Thailand's economy. The only concern for me is ease of ability to move capital outside the country. I have heard of stories where foreigners have been charged with money laundering when they legally tried to move their money out after say, selling their condos. Anyway, as Indians are given tax breaks for capital gains investments along with several other countries, I feel comfortable investing.
And yes, I think Thailand and Thai people have a bright future ahead, as long as they diversify and innovate.

You can't stop BKK from growing bigger and bigger it has been like this since the city establishment. BKK is a perfect hub location to be chosen. No, thai urban people are not that selfish. They also think of undeveloped rural people as the same nation. Lots of rural-remote area development project got the fund donated by urban people, not even to mention the royal rural development project of the late King Rama9.
Been living and working in the manufacturing sector of Thailand for 6 years now... Here are some problems not discussed here.
1. Foreign investment is slowing down from a multitude of factors. Instability is a major one. But so are rising costs of labor and living. And better options are becoming available. Since I've moved here most companies I know of, including my own, have built new factories in Vietnam and Cambodia.
2. Politics here is so corrupt. Thailand is similar to that episode of The Simpsons when Hollywood goes to make the Radioactive Man movie in Springfield. They get ripped off so much that they leave. This is the bureaucratic attitude of the government of Thailand to foreigners, with this ridiculous belief that there will always be more suckers to rip off.
3. Thai people have some of the lowest confidence in the world, which holds back a lot of them from making their own businesses beyond necessary services, like bars, restaurants and hair salons. The nationalist government spends so much time teaching kids at school to behave and fit in, and very little about being innovative, creative or pushing boundaries, that they don't have a lot of faith in themselves to succeed. Plus the country is dominated by factories from 1 country - Japan. If you haven't worked under Japanese they have a strong sense of arrogance towards other races. They also assume authoritarian roles in the workforce. So a lot of Thais who graduate and work for Japanese companies come into careers where they are treated like 2nd class citizens in a servitude role. Not the best environment to promote entrepreneurship.
4. The education system here is considered mandatory for success, but most Thais have no interest in what they study. That Asian mentality of 'doctor, engineer, doctor, engineer' is strong here. And middle-class women are told to go to uni to do office work but, as there is no feminism in Thailand, they're mostly just going to uni to get an office job, find a husband and then get pregnant so they can then quit and be the housewives they always wanted to be. None of them want careers.
Opinions do not have a positive perspective, and some are contradicting the truth.
I don't know Thailand's factorys are dominated by Japanese
But japan culture is the same heavy on conforming. They just copy western innovations and ideas and then improve on it.
Logan In Thailand Not your business, dear.
@@kingdomplantae916 uhhh... Working in a non tourist industry of Thailand means it literally is my business.
One of the key goals for Thailand 4.0 is to become a global hub for electric car manufacturing. Really curious to see how the government will make it happen. There are rumors that TESLA has been talking to both Thai and Indonesian governments.
The reason why Thai economy/FDI has not been so great recently is because we have been under military dictatorship government since 2013. The same prime minister for 7 years who clearly has no idea how to run a country.
You will see more curious that the Minister of Science and Technology said that Thailand will send a space shuttle around the moon in 7 years when they are not capable of making a missile ...
As a foreigner, i have studied and worked in thaialnd for 6 yrs. Very lovely country. Sadly the world stereotype Thailand as the land of clubbing and partying but thats not the case.

But there is a big downside as myself being a foreigner. No matter how long you stay in thailand, you will always feel like your an outsider. Thats the reason i have have left the country

During January 2021, water dams of western Turkey have only 15 percent water in their reservoirs.

Don't you prefer to live in Thailand instead of 4 seasons possessing, mainly arid, desert style country like Turkey with little incomes per month and no perks from the governments and not enough Foreign direct Investments because of being muslims believers, with 90.000 mosques in the country. Sweden's GDP per head is 80.000 USD, Turkey's GDP per se is 8500 USD in 2019 with similar winter conditions in both of the countries.

Highest pension net wage is 850 euros in Turkey. 597 water dams in Turkey have been done, built. 2 nuclear plants have been in work in progress in Turkey in comparison to Germany's 17 and France's 56 nuclear power plants to generate cheap energy for factories, for tourism, hotels, intercity lightning. 250 universities exist in Turkey and in Northern Cyprus to give enough university education. Turkey's public buses are brand new and very clean compared to Thailands. Thailand has low unemployment most of the time compared to 35 percent unemployment among 18-35 years old youngsters of Turkey. Turkey has new 300 5 star hotels in Istanbul and in Antalya each. Bodrum has become city of 500.000 with very well known brand new 5 star hotels and mansions just across Greek islands, flying to everywhere in Europe. 3800 kms of motorways have been built in western Turkey and out of 5011 kms of total fast train lines in Turkey, 1700 kms of fast train lines have been finished in 2021. Median schools finished alumni are 8 years schooling in Turkey.
If Thailand's economics relies on tourism alone as accusations, why its economic growth is always declining along the last 2 decades of tourism booming period till today ?
You can see from statistics Thailand's economic growth started peaking 60 years ago and is slowly declining in linear trend till today.
Haters please be rational. No accusing/trolling with fake story, stereotypes, autocrat nor dictation, please.
Thailand was hit by a corrupted politicians in the first 14 years of the 20th century. Especially Thaksin, leader of the red shirt rebellion(who burned Bangkok) and current anti-monarchy mob, who used populist policies to win big support from majority of people in the North and Northeastern Thailand who are predominantly farmers with low income. However, he twists around laws for his own benefit; create a disastrous rice scheme and first car scheme; and sold out Thailand gold mines and oil factories to foreign companies most notably owned by U.S., Australia, Singapore, and E.U.. Nowadays, the source of political instability is contributed by foreigners. All main stream medias are owned by Thaksin who continues to incite insurrection in Thailand. This is what your media refuses to tell you. Why should you trust me? I'm a Thai college student who lives in Bangkok. Hopefully this offers a new beneficial insight in Thailand. A dark one, really.
@@user-wy4bx9ko6s That's irrelevant to this comment. The point is about people claim with stereotypes that Thais can't develop country without money from tourism while real statistics indicate tourism has nothing to do with Thai economic growth, that's all.
Dude, practice more reading skill. It helps with your perception.
@@mytube9182 Could you not be so mean as to accuse someone of being academically incompetent? I'm just trying to explain, additionally, the reasons behind Thailand economic declination.

Especially after Asian crisis? That is my point.

It should also be noted that Thailand has a very low population growth rate, the lowest in southeast Asia, then low GDP growth is understandable.
In 2019, 3 other neighboring countries compared to Thailand,
Malaysia’s GDP growth rate was around 1.3 times higher, but population growth rate was almost 5 times higher.
Philippine’s GDP growth rate was around 2 times higher, but population growth rate was almost 5 times higher.
Vietnam’s GDP growth rate was around 2 times higher, but population growth rate was around 3.5 times higher.
Among these 4 countries, even though Thailand has the lowest growth in “GDP”, its growth in “GDP per capita” is the highest.

To improve tourism industry in Thailand. The government launched the "Touring in Minor Cites" campaign to persuade Thai and foreign tourists to travel more to minor cities, moreover than Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket and other major cities, to distributed the wealth to the minor cities. From my point of view, to fulfill this policy, there have to be more promotion and, like how to persuade more investors to invest more in other regions, there have to be more infrastructure development to the minor cities. When the infrastructure is well developed, there will be more investments and tourism in the minor cities.
First, they have to open the border. Cancel the 14 days isolation, then hopefully foreigners will come.

One thing that I like when I read the comment section is many Thais have the comments or discussions with the foreigners in English, some of them can do it very well. Thai people have been criticized both in Thailand and oversea for very long time about their English ability. The comment section shows that there are many more Thai people who can use English very well and there will be more Thai people with high capacity in the future.
You touched on restrictive purchase/use of land. Given the proximity and influence of China, this can only be a good thing. The abuse that Cambodia is suffering from China (casinos, sand extraction from the Mekong), would only be repeated here.
