Scope

Bangkok secured the fourth spot in global tourist destination rankings in 2023, thanks to attractions like Wat Arun and the Grand Palace.
- The construction sector played a modest yet significant role in Bangkok's metropolitan region, contributing 2.1% to the total GVA in 2023, with a growth rate of 0.7% and adding THB106.9 billion ($3.1 billion) to the region's GVA. This growth will be fueled by improved investor and consumer confidence, coupled with government investments in key infrastructure projects.
