FX.co ★ Thailand Private Investment Hits 13-Month High

Private investment in Thailand experienced a 3.3% increase month-on-month in November 2025, recovering from a 1.1% decline in October and ending a streak of four consecutive months of contraction. This growth, the most substantial since October 2024, was primarily fueled by enhanced investment in machinery and equipment, spurred by heightened sales of electrical and industrial machinery. However, investment in vehicles saw a downturn, as indicated by a decrease in vehicle registrations across all categories and a decline in the value of aircraft imports. Concurrently, construction investment saw a slight decrease, with non-residential construction weakening due to a reduction in permitted areas outside industrial zones and diminished commercial building activity. Residential construction also fell, following a decrease in permitted condominium areas.
