Economic Situation Down But Consumer Outlook Positive

The economy lost some steam this quarter but people still believe in bright prospects for their country, according to a survey from Kantar TNS Thailand in conjunction with Marketbuzzz.

Overall, Thailand is still in a fragile situation with some economic indicators continuing to slide, besides the passing of King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
However, the general sentiment is hopeful with 71 per cent of respondents claiming that Thailand next year will be better or the same as this year.
