Thai Tourist Economy Feeling The Pain Of Nation's Political Crisis

Thailand's ongoing political crisis has already hurt the nation's economy, and Tuesday morning's declaration of martial law is not going to help as key areas like exports and private investment stutter, the nation's latest data show. The nation's National Economic and Social Development Board said late Monday that it expects 2014 economic growth to be 1.5 percent to 2.5 percent, sharply lower than its previous estimate of 3 percent to 4 percent.
