Thailand, like other countries, is facing several problems. Many are trivial; some are significant or BIG. I have reflected on the big problems,as a Thai fellow, that I think are challenging the well-being of Thailand.
In fact, a small-scale survey conducted by one of my students revealed that the four big problems were ranked as follows:
Economic Problem
Red-Yellow Groups
The Deep South
Environment-related
It was found that the environment-related problems (such as global warming or rising sea-level, were ranked lower.
This finding confirms the findings reported by the Thai government and the World Bank. This is what the summary of the report has stated:
"The overall environment for investment in Thailand worsened slightly in 2007 when compared with 2004. Moreover, future investment decisions by Thai companies could well be affected by the uncertain economic and political environment".
