Thailand is an emerging economy and considered as a newly industrialized country. After enjoying the world highest growth rate from 1985 to 1996 – averaging 12.4% annually – increased pressure on Thailand currency, the baht, in 1997, the year in which the economy contracted by 1.9% led to a crisis that uncovered financial sector weaknesses and forced the Chavalit Yongchaiyudh administration to float the currency, however, Prime Minister Chavalit Yongchaiyudh was forced to resign after his cabinet came under fire for its slow response to the crisis. The baht was pegged at 25 to the US dollar from 1978 to 1997, however, the baht reached its lowest point of 56 to the US dollar in January 1998 and the economy contracted by 10.8% that year as you can see in Thailand on world map. This collapse prompted the Asian financial crisis.

Thailand is a country located at the centre of the Indochina peninsula in Southeast Asia. It is bordered to the north by Burma and Laos, to the east by Laos and Cambodia, to the south by the Gulf of Thailand and Malaysia, and to the west by the Andaman Sea and the southern extremity of Burma as you can see in the Map of Thailand and surrounding countries. Its maritime boundaries include Vietnam in the Gulf of Thailand to the southeast, and Indonesia and India in the Andaman Sea to the southwest. Parts of the border with Laos are indefinite; maritime boundary with Vietnam resolved, August 1997; parts of border with Cambodia are indefinite; maritime boundary with Cambodia not clearly defined; sporadic conflict with Burma over alignment of border.

On 5 November 2009 Thailand recalled its ambassador from Cambodia in protest of the Cambodian government appointment of Thai ex-leader Thaksin Shinawatra as an economic adviser. Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva stated that this was "the first diplomatic retaliation measure" against the appointment. He also said that Cambodia was interfering in Thai internal affairs and as a result bi-lateral co-operation agreements would be reviewed. The Cambodian government has stated that it would refuse any extradition request from Thailand for Thaksin as it considered him to be a victim of political persecution. Thailand has an embassy in Kuala Lumpur, and Malaysia has an embassy in Bangkok as its shown in the Map of Thailand and surrounding countries.

Diplomatic relations between Thailand and Vietnam have existed since 1976, and are very friendly both economically and politically. In some respects, Thailand can be seen as a greater threat to Laos independence than Vietnam because of its closer cultural affinity, its easier access, and its control over the railroad and highway routes to the sea as its mentioned in the Map of Thailand and surrounding countries. The Mekong River, which both sides have an interest in making a "river of true peace and friendship" — as their respective prime ministers called for in 1976 — also provides a north–south artery during the rainy season.
