The total capital value of these new registrations was 19.1 billion baht, an 8.19% decrease from January and a 1.22% decrease from February 2022. While there was a decrease in the number of businesses that deregistered in February 2023 compared to January 2023 at 869 businesses or 33%, there was an increase in the number of deregistrations compared to February 2022 at 29.90%.

These businesses accounted for 8.05% of all new registrations in February 2023, including travel agencies, tour leading businesses, foreign currency exchange businesses, restaurants and hotels. This increase may be due to the improving overall economy and the increasing number of tourists visiting the country, as reflected in consumer and business confidence indices that have been consistently increasing.
