Thai economy seen back at pre-pandemic level in Q1, 2023, says central bank


BANGKOK, June 28 (Reuters): Thailand's economy is expected to return to pre-pandemic levels in the first quarter of 2023, the central bank said on Monday, amid a slow recovery in tourism due to a surge in coronavirus infections.

The tourism-reliant nation, which is struggling with its biggest Covid-19 outbreak so far, is due to reopen the resort of Phuket to vaccinated foreign visitors on Thursday in a pilot project before a full reopening within 120 days.
