Key summary
The Office of Trade Policy and Strategy released survey results showing Thailand's overall consumer confidence index fell to 48.9 in September 2026, down from 49.5 the previous month. While government measures like 'Thailand Helps Thailand Plus' and continued export expansion, particularly in electronics and fruit, support purchasing power, high living costs and debt remain major concerns. Regional and occupational breakdowns reveal mixed sentiment, with Bangkok and the Northeast staying above the confidence threshold of 50, while other regions and professions dipped below it.
