Tourism

Tourism has been a staple for the Thai economy for many years. However the pandemic put a halt on that industry as heavy restrictions were applied to travel. Now those restrictions are lifted, it can be seen that tourism is slowly coming back to Thailand. With an anticipated 5.5 million people set to visit the country this year. It’s an increase on the initial forecast. However this is very little in comparison to  2019 when Thailand saw 40 million foreign tourists visit the country.

Export

Export has taken a hit, from 2020-2022 however the industry kept afloat. Even though COVID hit Thailand hard, the export industry managed to continue to flourish. Export goods in 2020 contributed to over $20 billion was earned in trade surplus. The main produce being exported are vehicles, meat, seafood, electronics, as well as precious metals and gems.
