FX.co ★ Thailand Private Investment Rebounds to 6-Month High

In April 2025, private investment in Thailand saw a notable increase of 2.9% compared to the previous month, bouncing back from a 1.0% decrease in March, and representing the most robust growth since October 2024. This resurgence was mainly fueled by heightened investment in machinery and equipment, bolstered by an uptick in imports of capital goods, particularly computers, office equipment, and electrical devices. Furthermore, there was a positive trend in vehicle investment, evidenced by a rise in passenger car registrations, as well as increased expenditure on aircraft, ships, and locomotives. Conversely, construction investment remained constant. While there were improvements in residential construction, non-residential construction experienced a decline, primarily due to a deceleration in hotel development.
