What is Thailand 4.0? From the past up to the present, Thailand has passed through three economic development models. In the first model, "Thailand 1.0,” emphasis was placed on the agricultural sector. The second model, "Thailand 2.0,” focused on light industries, which helped upgrade the country’s economy from the low-income to middle-income status. In the third model, "Thailand 3.0,” the country is currently emphasizing heavy industries for continued economic growth.
