Thai economy expands slowly in February, helped by tourism drive, central bank says

BANGKOK (Reuters): Thailand's economy expanded slowly in February with growth in the service sector and an increase in tourist arrivals offseting a fall in exports from the previous month, the Bank of Thailand (BOT) has announced.

Thailand recorded a current account surplus of US$2 billion in February, after a deficit of $0.2 billion in the previous month, the BOT said.
