Recovery post-COVID strong but Chinese tourist numbers below 2019 peak. Digital nomad visa attracting remote workers. - **Manufacturing**: Auto production hub (Detroit of Asia), pivoting to EV assembly. BYD, Great Wall, MG building Thai factories. Electronics and hard drive manufacturing significant.
