Economic History

Thailand

For example, General Motors opened a $600 million new vehicle assembly plant in mid-2000, joining Ford and other automotive manufacturers in Thailand, solidifying the country's reputation as the "Detroit of Southeast Asia" . Increasingly, companies investing in Thailand are those requiring skilled but cost-competitive labor . In addition, as Thailand slowly moves ahead with its near to medium term plans to privatize many state-owned enterprises, additional opportunities both for investment as well as sales of equipment should arise in important sectors such as energy, aviation and telecommunications.
