Tourism Cambodia Outshines Thailand in Race for Chinese Tourists
Srikcir replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Thailand has a mixed economy with the major economic sectors being agriculture, manufacturing, tourism, service and natural resources. In 2022, the tourism sector directly contributed around 2.78% to the gross domestic product (GDP) in Thailand. In 2021 the economy of Thailand was dependent on exports, which accounted for about 58% of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) in 2021. Tourism is a low-value sector while exports (manufacturing, agriculture) are higher value sectors of the economy. Thailand might better advance its economy by shifting part of its tourism industry through training, mechanization and industrialization aimed towards higher value sectors. But a decade of post-2013 Thai governments have seemed too often incapable of making such a commitment. -

Been there, done that. "Thai rice farmers demand better support as prices plummet," updated Feb. 21, 2025 https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/thai-rice-farmers-demand-better-support-as-prices-plummet Thai government measures to support rice farmers have failed to meet expectations, with some growers in the world’s second-largest rice exporting country vowing protests as they are squeezed between falling prices and rising cultivation costs. We are not happy with the measures. I think the government is not sincere with farmers at all,” said Mr Thitiwat Kleepmalai, a farmer leader from Ayutthaya province" Thailand’s centuries-old rice cultivation system is under severe stress from climate change, unsustainable farm debts and a lack of innovation, despite tens of billions of dollars in subsidies over the past decade. Subsidies will not change the economic dynamics of unprofitable Thai rice production. Nor will street protests.

For those who want to do a deep dive into the politics of Thailand's rice policies: "Overview of Rice Policy 2000-2018 in Thailand: A Political Economy Analysis" https://ap.fftc.org.tw To date no Thai government has meet the challenges to rice price sustainability. "What Thailand needs is the structural transformation that moves large excess supply of agricultural labor into no-agricultural sector which has higher productivity." ditto But given decades of Thailand's national reputation being based in part as one of the world's top rice producers, can any Thai government be willing to such transformation?

Analysis Engine Crisis Puts Thai Submarine Project in Peril Once Again
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
No surprise as it was known from the beginning of purchase negotiations between Thailand and China that the German engine was not allowed under EU sanctions. But it seems the Thai PM thought Germany could be convinced otherwise AFTER signing a purchase contract with China, even years later trying to convince the President of Germany to allow German engines into Chinese subs that Thailand had COMMITTED to purchase. Germany replied NO. -

Report Thai submarine plans sink as Germany halts engine sale
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
What they agreed was the installation of a Chinese electrical generator and label it an "engine." No Chinese submarine has such a generator that substitutes as an engine. But PM Prayut paid a very high nonrefundable deposit and annual payments that obligate Thailand to purchase 3 of such submarines. PS: While Prayut was PM he was also Minister of Defence -
