Thailand's economy boom has been spearheaded by its dynamic export market, particularly in the agriculture and manufacturing industries.

Thailand's agriculture industry has remained solid and is ranking as the world's fifth largest food exporter. Thailand has exported most of its rice, tapioca and tinned pineapples to the world. Until recently, the industry has been slightly outstripped by the newly emerged manufacturing industries.

The annual economic growth rate has averaged over 7% since 1986, posting a dynamic continuous growth together with its neighbouring countries, and it is now poised to assume Newly Industrialized Country (NIC) status.

The rapid development can be seem with Bangkok's bristling highrise skyline sprouting everywhere and pushing the basic infrastructure to its limit.

Thailand's biggest industry is tourism. The tourism has recorded an average of 5 million visitors annually.
