The Cipher Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 This surprises me a bit. Would be interesting to see a follow-up breakdown of the growth drivers and changes in the major pillars of the economy compared to pre-Covid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My instincts tell me this is impossible. Not sure how they are arriving at the number or if it's politically motivated. If I consider logically, the Thais have FINALLY admitted how significant foreign tourism is to the Thai economy -- more than 20% of GDP. Foreign tourism has been devastated for the past year. How have they made up the massive loss? Rice exports? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
