- **CBDC**: Bank of Thailand Project Inthanon among the most advanced in ASEAN. Wholesale CBDC tested with 8 banks. Retail pilot expanding. Cross-border CBDC with Hong Kong (mBridge participation). - **Crypto**: Bitkub dominates domestic trading (~90% share). SEC regulates with licensing framework.

Recovery post-COVID strong but Chinese tourist numbers below 2019 peak. Digital nomad visa attracting remote workers. - **Manufacturing**: Auto production hub (Detroit of Asia), pivoting to EV assembly. BYD, Great Wall, MG building Thai factories. Electronics and hard drive manufacturing significant.
