Private investment in Thailand declined by 0.4% month-on-month in July 2025, reversing a 0.7% increase in the previous month. The downturn was mainly attributable to weaker investment in machinery and equipment. Imports of capital goods fell, particularly in categories such as computers, office equipment, and specialized machinery, although domestic sales of machinery held steady. In addition, investment in vehicles remained broadly stable, as a rise in registrations of passenger cars and trucks offset a drop in ship imports, which had surged in the preceding month. Meanwhile, construction investment posted growth, supported by both residential and non-residential developments—particularly in zones approved for hotel and single-detached housing projects. source: Bank of Thailand

Thailand Private Investment Recovers in June
Private investment in Thailand rose by 0.7% month-on-month in June 2025, rebounding from a 0.6% decline in the previous month. The recovery was driven by a pickup in machinery and equipment investment, supported by higher domestic machinery sales and increased production of electrical equipment. Vehicle investment remained stable, as stronger imports of ships and increased registrations of pickup trucks offset declines in passenger car and truck registrations. Meanwhile, construction investment was broadly unchanged. Non-residential construction rose across all components, particularly in areas permitted for factory construction, while residential construction weakened, as reflected by a decline in permitted areas for single houses and townhouses.
