Population Density
124.7 per sq km.

Thailand background
•

Thailand has a rich and colorful culture, and many
exotic monuments and stunning beaches, which draw
millions of visitors each year, ranging from budgetconscious backpackers to those seeking luxurious
pampering in a spa.

•

Buddhism is a way of life here and with the reverence
the people have for the monarchy, a dynasty that has
maintained the independence of the country for
centuries, the result for the Thais is a blend of tradition
with contemporary living.
Thailand background
• dynamic Bangkok, a city that is larger than life, with its
futuristic high-rise buildings juxtaposed against the
glittering Grand Palace.
• Traffic and tranquillity, beaches and bargains, ancient
palaces and stunning temples
Thailand background
• Beyond urban Thailand are flat plains carpeted with rice
paddies and dotted with tiny villages, mountains of
luxuriant teak forests where elephants once roamed wild,
long stretches of white-sand beach, acres of coconut
palms and rubber plantations, and clear-blue waters
against towering rock cliffs. Rural life is languid and
hospitable, and behind every warm Thai smile there is
true kindness.
Thailand background
• Outdoor-adventure opportunities abound: sail, paddle,
dive, and snorkel in the sea; trek to villages; ride the
rivers; or go on four-wheel-drive adventures in the
rugged upcountry.
• Rural Thailand is ripe for exploration by bus, train, car,
motorbike, and boat, and visitors are limited only by their
tolerance for adventure.
Thailand background
• Geography:

Thailand is bordered to the west by Myanmar and the
Indian Ocean, to the south and east by Malaysia and the
Gulf of Thailand, to the east by Cambodia, and to the
north and east by Laos. Central Thailand is dominated
by the Chao Phraya River.

• Bangkok:

Over the last decade or so, the self-styled Land of
Smiles has grown from being mainly a backpacker
preserve to become one of Asia's most popular tourist
and business playgrounds.
Thailand background
• Language:

Thai is the official language. English is widely spoken in
urban area, especially in establishments catering for
tourists.

• Religion:

The vast majority adhere to Buddhism , 5% are Muslim
and there are Christian and Hindu minorities.
Situation Analysis
• Recent history:
- Thailand’s recent past has been characterized by economic
boom and bust, unstable government, unrest in the Muslim south
and the effects of the December 2004 tsunami disaster.
- This time, though, a civilian prime minister was installed, and
following this, despite various government collapses and
allegations of corruption in high places, parliamentary democracy
prevailed until September 2006 when there was a peaceful military
coup.
- Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra was forced to stand down,
his term of office since 2001 being constantly marred by
accusations of corruption.
- Civilian government was restored to Thailand and the new
elected prime minister Samak Suntorvech.
Situation Analysis
•

For all this, Thailand has risen above economic collapse in 1997,
SARS, avian influenza and the devastating tsunami in December
2004 to become a hugely popular destination on the long-haul
tourist trail, possessed as it is of great natural beauty and a very rich
cultural heritage.

•

Suvarnabhumi, The opening of Bangkok's space-age airport, with
the capacity to handle 45 million travelers a year and eventually 100
million with planned expansion, will only make Thailand a more
convenient destination, recent political turmoil notwithstanding.
Situation Analysis
• Thailand’s Economics:
: Baht Currency Appreciation
Thai Government concern about the very strong value of Thai
currency which appreciate to 30.82 per 1 U.S. Dollar.
: This appreciation might affect investment from foreigners in Thailand.
And also, it may increase the cost on expenditure in Tourism
: Increase in oil price which affect the whole business chain. Resulting
in increasing transportation price and overall price in goods and
services.
Situation Analysis
• Political Situation:
: The current political situation lacks of instability, even though
there is an elected government. Thailand is also one of the
countries which have the most corruption in the world.
Moreover, the situation at the southern part of Thailand is still
severe.
These affect on how other countries think about our country in
term of accountability and security, and also affect on the
economy which directly have a huge impact on the tourism.
Situation Analysis
• Tourism Situation:
: Vietnam nips at the heels of Thai tourism
Vietnam is poised to become the most challenging rival to the
Thai hospitality business in the near future due to the
country's ability to attract investment and develop well-trained
staff.
: Some Coalition with other countries within region
: TAT, Visa to woo Chinese
In a bid to capitalize on the Olympics, the Tourism Authority
of Thailand (TAT) has joined with Visa International (China) to
beef up marketing to attract Chinese visitors during the
period.
Thailand Current Situation
• General:
: Thai Oil Plc (TOP) looks to cut costs.
TOP,a unit of the oil giant PTT Plc, has joined with
Chulalongkorn University to develop new petroleum
products, aiming at optimising its oil-refining business.
: CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS.
The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) wants a
regulation issued to enable it to automatically oversee all
criminal investigations related to human trafficking rings.
