Thailand was hit hard by the
Asian Financial Crisis in the late 1990s, but it has made a strong recovery
in the last ten years. In 2007 the economy grew by 4.5 percent, and exports
have been at record levels in the last few years. The Thai economy is robust,
and prospects look good for the immediate future. If this looks like a country
you're interested in researching, a good place to start is Thailand's Board
of Investment page ( http://www.boi.go.th/english/ ). This site is primarily
concerned with investment in Thailand, but it has lots of useful information
if you're interested in trade. You'll find statistics and demographics about
Thailand, a guide to doing business in the country, legal information, news,
business matchmaking, and links to government sites and organizations that
promote trade. You'll also find plenty of good research at the Thailand Mini
Portal ( http://fita.org/countries/thailand.html ), a feature of the FITA
Web site. The Thailand Mini Portal has an overview of Thailand, with facts
about the language, currency, climate, etc., plus more specific information
about the economy, markets, taxes, labor market indicators, and tips on doing
business in Thailand. Click on "Useful Links" and
you'll find a variety of sources for market research, trade leads, business
directories, logistics, government contacts, travel, financing, and lots more.
The Thailand Mini Portal is one of many research gateways at the FITA site.
To find Mini Portals for other regions or countries, just click on "Country
Profiles" from within a Mini Portal, or at the FITA home page ( http://www.fita.org
). http://globaledge.msu.edu/stateInsights/
I'm always on the lookout for Web sites with good information on countries,
but there are also some useful sites about U.S. States. There's a new one
from globalEdge™ called State Insights ( http://globaledge.msu.edu/stateInsights/
), and it's worth a look. You just click on a State and you'll find a detailed
profile, including: demographics, history, economic data, foreign trade numbers,
tax information, news stories, lists of Fortune 1000 corporations with headquarters
in the State, links to government offices, business events listings, and
more. Anyone who wants to research a U.S. State should bookmark this page.
