Analysis

Thailand is a middle power in Asia.

The country’s overall score increased by 1.1 points over the past year.

Thailand’s strongest measures are cultural influence and economic relationships, where it places 7th. These scores are the result of its integration into regional supply chains and strong connectivity and people exchanges with Asia Power Index countries.

Thailand’s lowest ranking is for future resources, where it places 16th, reflecting its less favourable demographic outlook to 2050.

Thailand exerts more influence in the region than expected given its available resources, as indicated by the country’s positive power gap score, which improved in 2024.
