Thailand as an ASEAN member is due to enter the ASEAN Economic
Community (AEC) in 2015. The main purpose of AEC is to bring ASEAN towards the
single market and production base. This means the free transfer of five categories:
products, service, investment, skilled labor and capital. Certainly, there will be those
who gain and lose benefits from such liberalization, more or less depending on the
potential of entrepreneurs in each country.
