Rice is the most important crop, and Thailand had long been the world's leading exporter of rice, until recently falling behind both India and Vietnam. The country is popular for the growing practice of sex reassignment surgery and cosmetic surgery. Thailand ranks as the worlds fifth largest medical tourism destination in spending, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council, attracting over 2.5 million visitors in 2018, and is number one in Asia.

Thailand has the second highest number of English-medium private international schools in Southeast Asian Nations. Thai universities' research output is still relatively low, even though the country's journal publications increased by 20% between 2011 and 2016. +During World War II, the country was under the military dictatorship of Plaek Phibunsongkhram and allied with the Empire of Japan as part of the Axis powers, but Thailand did not become a defeated nation due to the underground Free Thai Movement's "Declaration of Peace", which was recognised by the Allies. Siam adapted to international relations during the imperialist era and joined World War I on the side of the Allies, a political decision aimed at revising the effects of unequal treaties and enhancing Siam's international status. During the era of Western imperialism, Siam remained the only country in Southeast Asia to avoid colonisation by European powers, although it ceded territory, trade rights, and legal privileges through several unequal treaties.

Today, sprawling ruins—remnants of towering temples, including its crown jewel and Angkor Wat look-alike, Wat Chaiwatthanaram—comprise the UNESCO World Heritage Site (one of eight in Thailand). In its heyday, between the 14th and 18th centuries, it was one of the world’s largest and most advanced cities. +Thailand had a 2017 GDP of US$1.236 trillion (on a purchasing power parity basis). Thailand is an emerging economy and is considered a newly industrialised country. Major exports include cars, computers, electrical appliances, rice, textiles and footwear, fishery products, rubber, and jewellery. Thailand is the 75th most peaceful country in the world, according to the 2024 Global Peace Index. Internal Security Operations Command is called the political arm of the military, which has overlapping social and political functions with civilian bureaucracy. Growing Chinese influence and capital inflow caused some members of parliament to raise the concern about "economic colony" under China after many concessions. +Varieties of Chinese are also spoken by the large Thai Chinese population, with the Teochew dialect best-represented. The largest of Thailand's minority languages is the Lao dialect of Isan spoken in the northeastern provinces.
