Thailand’s most popular industries

With a continually growing economy, Thailand is on the, “up and up” side of things. The country’s geographical location makes it perfect for trading with other countries in Southeast Asia.

The manufacturing industry is one of Thailand’s most influential industries. With various big name factories located in the suburbs of Bangkok, the import and export market has been very controversial towards the country’s economy. With that being said, manufacturing does tie in with a lot of the other industries that Thailand are known for, especially in the area of smart electronics.

Anyone with a passion for mechanical engineering and automation? Well, you do not have to look far. Thailand has the largest automotive industry in all of Southeast Asia. The country itself is able to produce about 2 million cars per day. Most of the cars produced in Thailand are also foreign. This means that multinational car brands, such as Ford, Mercedes Benz, or BMW, have their factories located in Thailand.

Thailand is known to be one of the best countries for the tourism industry. Its timeless beauty is unmatched. It is no surprise really, that the services, hospitality, and tourism industry are very popular. A lot of well known hotels have many of their branches situated throughout the country. With many provinces (especially Northern Thailand and Southern Thailand) containing its own unique culture and distinctive features, tourists around the world travel to Thailand to experience all of this first hand.

Thailand’s public health industry has also been on the rise, as of late. With the COVID-19 virus affecting many parts of the world for quite some time now, Thailand has dealt with this situation in its own way. As of May 5th, Thailand has logged only 1 new infection. What does this show? It shows that the medical staff are very equipped and ready to deal with the situation at hand.

Amazing Thailand!

Where to even begin? Thailand is a really amazing country. So unique in how they live their lives, Thai people take pride in their culture and way of living. The amount of beautiful temples is endless and located in the heart of Bangkok are the grand palaces. Don’t take this the wrong way, Bangkok is very busy but these temples really balance out the messiness with serenity. Wat Phra Kaew, or the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, or the Grand Palace, are prime examples of how rooted in culture, Thai people are. To this day, they still pay respect to these iconic attractions.

Who likes to shop? Lucky for you, shopping is a huge part of Thai culture and these Thai shopping malls are nothing like you’ve seen before. They’re grand, they’re big, and have basically everything that you need. If you get the chance, check out some of these shopping malls downtown, which are all accessible by the BTS, such as Icon Siam, Siam Center, Siam Discovery, Siam Paragon, Central World, Emquartier & Emporium, or MBK.

Local Thai food tops it all. The best taste of Thai cuisine is at its source. A well known location for delicious Thai food is Yaowarat Road. It has everything, from street food to Michelin star restaurants. Along both sides of the road, there are food vendors everywhere that are open until very late. Also, be sure to check out Yaowarat’s night market for super cool local Thai souvenirs.
