Economy
Thailand is an upper-middle-income economy, one of Southeast Asia's largest, with a diversified base in manufacturing, agriculture, and a world-renowned tourism industry.
A major exporter and manufacturing hub, especially for vehicles and electronics, Thailand has seen growth slow amid political instability and an aging population, though tourism remains a powerful engine.
Key sectors include automobiles and parts (the 'Detroit of Asia'), electronics, tourism (among the world's most visited countries), agriculture (Thailand is a top rice and rubber exporter), and food processing.
