Can Thailand hit the 2.3 trillion baht jackpot?

 https://thethaiger.com/news/national/tourism-triumph-can-thailand-hit-the-2-3-trillion-baht-jackpot#google_vignette

From January 1 to August 25, Thailand has already hosted 23,096,752 foreign tourists, who collectively spent around 1.08 trillion baht, according to the Ministry of Tourism and Sports. This leaves a colossal 1.2 trillion baht to be generated in the last four months of the year—a tall order by any measure.

Thai SELECT-Food as soft power

 Commerce Ministry promotes Thai SELECT restaurants

 Sarishti AroraPublished: 16:16, 23 August 2024| Updated: 16:16, 23 August 2024

The Commerce Ministry launched prototype Thai SELECT restaurants to boost Thailand’s soft power on a global scale.

Celebrating its 104th anniversary, the ministry hosted the Driving the Thai Economy with Soft Power exhibition, led by caretaker Commerce Minister Phumtham Wechayachai, on the forecourt of its building.

Phumtham emphasised the ministry’s dedication to enacting policies aimed at accelerating economic recovery. These policies are designed to enhance the well-being of citizens, increase income, reduce expenses, broaden opportunities, and ensure a balance between consumers, agricultural producers, and business operators, thus sustaining their livelihoods and businesses.

Additionally, the ministry highlighted the importance of Thailand’s soft power in creating employment and generating income. Soft power is increasingly seen as a critical tool for economic growth, with the government striving to foster a creative economy that evolves from national identity, local wisdom, and creativity, and is intertwined with culture and society. This strategy aims to advance the production of goods and services.

Phumtham stated that the ministry supports this initiative by organising meetings, seminars, and trade shows to promote Thai soft power.

A press conference on Thursday at the ministry featured a model displaying local products exemplifying soft power.

In a related move, the ministry is hosting an exhibition of Thai SELECT restaurants to further promote Thailand’s soft power. The Thai SELECT certification, granted by the Commerce Ministry, recognises Thai restaurants and pre-packaged Thai food products that authentically reflect local wisdom and culture, and use high-quality raw materials such as Hom Mali fragrant rice and geographical indication-registered products.

The ministry plans to feature lifestyle products, fashion, and crafted designs at 1,600 Thai SELECT restaurants worldwide.

Promoting Thai SELECT food as an international soft power is a significant selling point for the country and contributes to driving the economy, aligning with government policies, Phumtham said, reported Bangkok Post.

Thai SMEs eye US e-commerce payday after major Amazon deal

 Puntid TantivangphaisalPublished: 16:24, 23 August 2024| Updated: 16:24, 23 August 2024

Thailand’s small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are set to cash in on the lucrative US e-commerce market following a groundbreaking deal inked between the Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP) and Amazon Global Selling (AGS).

The partnership, formalised during the TOPTHAI Cross-Border e-Commerce Day 2024, aims to turbocharge the e-commerce export capabilities of Thai businesses, opening doors to the US$1.1 trillion (approximately 37 trillion baht) US market.

This collaboration is more than just a handshake—it’s a strategic move to deepen the understanding of e-commerce exports to the US, which ranks second globally in revenue. With over 65% of Thailand’s micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) eyeing the US as their top e-commerce destination, the timing couldn’t be better.

DITP’s director-general, Phusit Ratanakul Sereroengrit, expressed optimism about the alliance.

“We strongly believe that this will help accelerate Thai businesses’ pace in exporting and reaching global markets such as the US, while also enhancing the international reputation of Thai products.”

Echoing this sentiment, Anand Palit, head of Amazon Global Selling for Southeast Asia, underscored the significance of government-industry collaboration.

“According to research commissioned by Amazon, 95% of the Thai businesses surveyed agreed that government-industry collaboration in staging educational conferences and seminars would enhance their e-commerce export capabilities. This is exactly what we are going to do with this MoU with DITP.”

The MoU promises to be more than just words on paper. AGS will hit the road with DITP, participating in roadshows across Thailand to educate local brands about selling on Amazon’s US platform and navigating American consumer preferences. Top Thai brands, including Tuff Sport and Wel-B, are already seeing success, with the collaboration set to spotlight these and other brands at the TOPTHAI Pavilion in Times Square, New York, this September.

As cross-border e-commerce surges, a study by Access Partnership reveals that Thai e-commerce exports could skyrocket from 29.5 billion baht to 313.8 billion baht in the next five years, with MSMEs poised to grab a bigger slice of the pie. However, challenges remain, particularly around logistics, regulatory compliance, and digital marketing expertise. Thai businesses are calling for stronger public-private partnerships to navigate these hurdles.

With the DITP-Amazon partnership, Thai SMEs are ready to seize the moment and take their products to the world stage, reported The Nation.

Priority Needs Index (PNI)

 The Priority Needs Index (PNI) was not created by Wongwanich and Wiratchai (2005), but rather, it was developed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in the 1990s. The PNI was originally developed as a tool to identify and prioritize the needs of vulnerable populations in developing countries.

The UNDP's PNI methodology was later adapted and modified for use in Thailand, where it has been widely applied to identify areas of priority for development. Wongwanich and Wiratchai (2005) were among the first researchers to apply the PNI methodology in Thailand and to modify it to better suit the Thai context.

Therefore, while Wongwanich and Wiratchai (2005) were not the creators of the PNI, their work was important in adapting and refining the methodology for use in Thailand. Since their original publication, the PNI modified has been widely used in Thailand to identify areas of priority for development, and it continues to be an important tool for development planning and resource allocation.

To the best of my knowledge, the original source for the PNI methodology developed by the UNDP is the report entitled "A User's Guide to Measuring Human Development: The Human Development Index and Related Indicators" by Mahbub ul Haq, which was published in 1995.
