Resource-seeking FDI by Thai enterprises is limited. In terms
of geographical spread, most Thai outward FDI is in Asia. Thus,
Thai transnational corporations (TNCs) are mostly regional
entities and they play a role in strengthening regional integration
and South-South cooperation. The prospect for Thai outward
FDI is promising given the encouragement of the Government,
the maturing of more Thai firms with interest in venturing
abroad, improvement in corporate financial situations and
regionalization factors pulling Thai firms to invest overseas.
