As well as having to contend with opposition groups, the prime minister, Abhisit Vejjajiva, may struggle to retain the support of his partners in the coalition government and his patrons in the palace and the military. The government will support the economy through fiscal stimulus, but will face constraints owing to rising public debt. 911a225d3e6c8ba29ca61327e80aa1b5Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:00:00 GBAsia Pacific/Thailandhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/asia_pacific/thailand/thailand_tourism_report_q4_2009.htmlH109 Arrivals Figures Slump Bearing out our gloomy prognosis for the Thai tourism industry in 2009, tourist arrivals have fallen sharply in the first half of 2009. Figures released by the Office of Tourism Development (OTD) showed that tourist arrivals fell by 16. 2% year-on-year (y-o-y), to arrivals of only 6. 72d9b44a5845de8e0e8ccb4b0f7ca75eWed, 09 Sep 2009 12:00:00 GBAsia Pacific/Thailandhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/asia_pacific/thailand/country_report_thailand_september_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 Thailand will remain politically unstable in 2009-10, as there will be no resolution to the country's protracted and multifaceted power struggle. As well as contending with opposition groups, the prime minister, Abhisit Vejjajiva, may struggle to retain the support of his partners in the coalition government. A general election could be held within the next year or so. 10f0ba360823b3f37c89558ef61d81d2Wed, 02 Sep 2009 12:00:00 GBAsia Pacific/Thailandhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/asia_pacific/thailand/country_report_thailand_august_2009.htmlYou may have noticed that since the second quarter of this year, some additional content has started to appear in your monthly and quarterly CRs. We are now including a country map, and a range of basic data (selected to be useful for business travellers in particular), in every country report. For most countries, except a few where data is in very short supply, we are also including comparative economic indicators that show each country's position relative to regional peers, in easy-to-read graphical format. 06af2c0d65b38b9b6b7a46a8b871d868Sun, 02 Aug 2009 12:00:00 GBAsia Pacific/Thailandhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/asia_pacific/thailand/thailand_defence_security_report_q3_2009.htmlThe key issue for Thailand remains as it did in 2Q09: to what extent will a clearly deteriorating economic environment exacerbate tensions between the 'yellow shirt' supporters of new Prime Minister Abhisit Veijajiva and the 'red shirt' supporters of ousted former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra? The Thai economy has already entered a technical recession, with Q109 data showing a contraction in GDP of more than 7% y-o-y following a Q408 fall of 42% y-o-y. The external outlook remains grim with exports continuing to tumble at the start of the year, falling by 25. 3% y-o-y in January. 450916688401439b325e139cf41ee9b7Tue, 07 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBAsia Pacific/Thailandhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/asia_pacific/thailand/thailand_infrastructure_report_q3_2009.htmlWe estimate that real construction sector growth in 2008 was -4. 7%. The performance of the construction sector in 2009 is likely to be even worse. 44fd74a4c0b510e13ea98a4e6545f120Tue, 07 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBAsia Pacific/Thailandhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/asia_pacific/thailand/country_report_thailand_july_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 Thailand will remain unstable politically in 2009-10, as there will be no resolution to the country's protracted, multifaceted power struggle. As well as contending with opposition groups, the prime minister, Abhisit Vejjajiva, may struggle to retain the support of his partners in the coalition government.

The controversial nature of negotiations on closer economic and political ties with mainland China was highlighted in May, when large street protests were organised by the opposition Democratic People's Party (DPP). Concerns about the weakness of the economy will lead the Central Bank of China (Taiwan's central bank) to continue to make modest cuts in official interest rates during 2009. 7449174e0f106f76735d36ded953f514Sat, 06 Jun 2009 12:00:00 GBAsia Pacific/Thailandhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/asia_pacific/thailand/country_report_thailand_june_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The political scene will remain unstable in 2009-10, as there is unlikely to be any resolution to the countrys protracted, multi-faceted power struggle. As well as contending with opposition groups, the prime minister, Abhisit Vejjajiva, may struggle to retain the support of his partners in the coalition government. A fresh election could be held within the next year or so. d55eb041ece5179144259810827e08d3Sat, 06 Jun 2009 12:00:00 GBAsia Pacific/Thailandhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/asia_pacific/thailand/country_report_thailand_may_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The political scene will remain unstable in 2009-10. The Songkran protests in mid-April have underlined the extent to which the prime minister, Abhisit Vejjajiva, relies on the patronage of the established elites to remain in power. As well as contending with opposition groups, Abhisit must also retain the support of his patrons in the royal palace, military and bureaucracy, which will prove difficult as he attempts to reconcile a divided nation. 9d42f79917f4fb3a8cda86e50ee367b7Tue, 05 May 2009 12:00:00 GBAsia Pacific/Thailandhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/asia_pacific/thailand/country_report_thailand_april_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The political scene will remain unstable. Given the serious political and economic challenges facing Thailand, the prime minister, Abhisit Vejjajiva, will have done well if his government is still in office in early 2010. As the economy endures its first recession in more than a decade, opposition protesters, led by the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD), will exploit increased economic hardship to discredit the government. 8430f8a76bd971dbc65a049bf40cb586Sat, 04 Apr 2009 12:00:00 GBAsia Pacific/Thailandhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/asia_pacific/thailand/thailand_infrastructure_report_q2_2009.htmlNew data from the statistics agency in Thailand show a worse than anticipated fall in construction industry real growth by 12. 8% for the fourth quarter of 2008.

Despite the election of a new prime minister, Abhisit Vejjajiva of the ruling Democrat Party (DP), on December 15th, the country's four-year power struggle will continue.

The use of force to disperse PAD protestors from the main international airport in the capital, Bangkok, appears to be the only option still open to the government. Serious violence could lead to intervention by the army. 57ee0d33434c1af6f2d5c2478c904247Fri, 12 Dec 2008 12:00:00 GBAsia Pacific/Thailandhttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/asia_pacific/thailand/thailand_defence_security_report_q4_2008.htmlGreater sectarian strife in Thailand's extreme south is the country's major security threat at present. But threats to Thailand's borders are rooted in cultural and territorial claims rather than being part of a global terrorism threat. An increase in the number of assassinations of schoolteachers, being the most visible and accessible government employees of the country, has become a major concern. 889e6124cf214ef35a1053e393999f3dFri, 12 Dec 2008 12:00:00 GBAsia Pacific/Thailand
