Paetongtarn Shinawatra · Prime Minister
Manufacturing-services mixed Economy · GDP $550B
Thailand is banking on tourism surviving AI, which is fair, and manufacturing growing, which is not. The Shinawatra dynasty returns to manage a country that cannot decide if it is a factory or a beach resort.

Policy Assessment
Thailand 4.0 has been the slogan for nearly a decade and the country is still mostly Thailand 2.5. The automotive sector is pivoting to EVs while simultaneously facing AI-driven automation in assembly. Tourism is resilient but cannot employ 70 million people. Agriculture employs a third of the workforce and is ripe for automation. The government changes too frequently (coups included) to sustain any coherent AI policy. Paetongtarn inherited the slogan and the cope.
