Multi-dimensional Review of Thailand
Volume 3: From Analysis to Action
Thailand is a fast emerging country that aspires to become a high-income economy by
2037. Strong growth has enabled the country to join the group of upper-middle-income
economies in the early 2010s and to perform well in many areas. At the same time,
the benefits of prosperity have not been shared evenly nationwide and the economic
development has taken a toll on the environment. Moving forward, Thailand needs to
master three transitions to build capabilities and sustain faster but also more inclusive
economic growth: enabling further growth by unlocking the full potential of all Thailand’s
regions; developing more effective methods of organisation and collaboration between
actors and levels of government; managing water security and disaster risk. Based
on the previous volume’s in-depth analysis and policy recommendations, this report
suggests a set of actions to support these transitions. The actions focus on the North
of Thailand, one of the most diverse and yet poorest regions of the country.
