By Amanda Lee Thailand’s central bank took its last window of opportunity this year to give the economy some support, resuming rate cuts as growth stagnates and risks mount. The Bank of Thailand’s monetary policy committee voted unanimously to reduce the policy rate to 1.25% from 1.50%.

BANGKOK – Welcome to the half-empty SEA Games. Joyous but abandoned. Competitive but often deserted. At the Chaeng Watthana Government Complex, the venue for wushu and karate, there were more people waiting in line at the nearby immigration office than fans in the competition hall.

Although Thailand’s biggest sources of tourism come from nearby Asian countries of Malaysia, China, and India, the United States also brought in over 500,000 visitors in the first half of 2025 in numbers that have risen steadily over the last five years, Thailand’s The Nation reported.

Bangkok feels as though it’s at the centre of the Asian art world right now and the buzz around the Thai capital is reaching fever pitch. Dib Bangkok, an almost mythical contemporary-art museum that has been talked about for 30 years, finally opens this weekend in a former steel warehouse near the port area of the city.  Dib Bangkok is easily the most anticipated art institution to open in Asia since M+ in Hong Kong at the start of the decade and the timing could not be better.
