Consumer Lifestyles in Thailand

Consumer Lifestyles in Thailand

Government schemes aiming to boost the economy are giving Thais more spending power. Thailand's upcoming entry in the ASEAN Economic Community is likely to bring vast changes. Despite a wide gap in income equality - 66% of the population live in slums outside of Bangkok or in rural areas while the number of Thai millionaires is growing - most consumers remain confident about the personal economic future and this has driven increased consumer spending.
