Thailand is lagging behind other Southeast Asian countries in recovering from the impact of Covid-19, and it needs to remodel its economic structure to remain competitive, according to former prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva.
Some might be carried away with the 2.5% economic growth seen in the second quarter, but when compared to other Asean nations, Thailand's recovery is at the slowest rate, Mr Abhisit told the attendants of a seminar at Srinakharinwirot University on Wednesday.
