  • 19 NOVEMBER 2014 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Commuters leave the Asoke BTS Skytrain station in Bangkok. Between July and September the economy expanded 0.6 percent compared to the previous year, the National Economic and Social Development Board (NESDB) reported. Thailand's economy achieved a weak 0.2 per cent growth across the first nine months of the year. The NESDB said the Thai economy is expected to grow by 1 percent in 2014. Authorities say the sluggish growth is because tourists have not returned to Thailand in the wake of the coup in May, 2014, and that reduced demand for computer components, specifically hard drives, was also hurting the economy. Thailand is the leading manufacturer of computer hard drives in the world. The Thai government has announced a stimulus package worth $11 billion (US) to provide cash handouts to farmers and promised to speed up budget spending to boost consumption.   PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 21 AUGUST 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:    Commuters on the Bangkok Skytrain Sukhumvit Line ride to work. Thailand entered a “technical” recession this month after the economy shrank by 0.3% in the second quarter of the year. The 0.3% contraction in gross domestic product between April and June followed a previous fall of 1.7% during the first quarter of 2013. The contraction is being blamed on a drop in demand for exports, a drop in domestic demand and a loss of consumer confidence. At the same time, the value of the Thai Baht against the US Dollar has dropped significantly, from a high of about 28Baht to $1 in April to 32THB to 1USD in August.    PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 19 NOVEMBER 2014 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Commuters leave the Asoke BTS Skytrain station in Bangkok. Between July and September the economy expanded 0.6 percent compared to the previous year, the National Economic and Social Development Board (NESDB) reported. Thailand's economy achieved a weak 0.2 per cent growth across the first nine months of the year. The NESDB said the Thai economy is expected to grow by 1 percent in 2014. Authorities say the sluggish growth is because tourists have not returned to Thailand in the wake of the coup in May, 2014, and that reduced demand for computer components, specifically hard drives, was also hurting the economy. Thailand is the leading manufacturer of computer hard drives in the world. The Thai government has announced a stimulus package worth $11 billion (US) to provide cash handouts to farmers and promised to speed up budget spending to boost consumption.   PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
