Appendix 1: Positive aspects for investing capital

Thailand. Perception and reality. Positive aspects for investment. Thailand is a dynamically developing country with a stable economy and continuously growing indicators in key areas. Thailand is also a large exporter of electronics and its components, in the production of cars, and is in fourth place in Asia and in ninth place in the world, the second in the world exporter of tungsten and the third tin. The prestige of Thailand, in terms of investment in real estate. The Thai authorities support foreign investment in all sectors of the economy and continuously promote the continuous attraction of tourists. A new program called "twelve values" was launched in 2015, it includes many different measures to attract even more tourists to the country. Regardless of the financial situation of individual countries, Thailand has seen a steady increase in tourists in the overall ratio. Over the past 2 years, the number of tourists from the former CIS countries has decreased, while the number of tourists from China has grown significantly. The table clearly shows the number of tourists from different countries from 2006 to 2015. STR Global conducted a study, as a result of which the occupancy rate of hotels in Thailand in 2015 reached 73.4%, which is 13.6% more than in 2014. This coefficient continues to grow rapidly. What is the reason for Thailand's tourist popularity:

• Comfortable geographical location. In Thailand, you can relax all year round. The extraordinary beauty of the tropics in all its manifestations. In Thailand, 98% of the population adheres to the Buddhist faith. This has a positive effect on the mood of the entire country. Thais are friendly and polite, very tolerant of other religions. There are no religious concerns in the country, which can sometimes have a very bad effect on relations with other countries, and lead to various troubles. A striking example, in the recent past, is Egypt and Türkiye.
• Tourism for the rich. Service at the highest level. Demand for the expensive segment is growing every year. Tourists expect high-level service from Thailand and they get it, since there is demand, that is, what to offer. Now many new hotels are opening, many new luxury villas are being built. Many hotels in Thailand offer world-class service.
• Thailand attracts with its special aura. Asia looks different from Europe. Some tourists say that the streets are not clean enough, the buildings are not white enough, the restaurants are not luxurious enough. Thais believe that what is important is what is inside, not outside. You can often see how in a seemingly terrible building, there are nice and comfortable apartments, how wealthy Thai people ride old bikes in holey T-shirts, how children from completely different walks of life play together in an abandoned dusty field. Those who have visited Thailand at least once, are eager to come back again, they fall in love with this unusual atmosphere. Well, and naturally, the main advantage of this country is considered to be its exclusive beauty. Vacation spots, islands and various beaches occupy the top lines in ratings around the world. The beauty of tropical islands and beaches, mountainous areas, "floating" rocks, Buddhist temples, ancient architecture, diving, elephants and Thai massage. All this provides constant interest and zeal for this country.
• Positive development prospects are confirmed by expert analysis; 60% of the real estate that will be rented out in Thailand in 2030 has not even begun to be built yet.

Thailand offers you a great opportunity. More and more investors are focusing their interest on this region every year.
