Yes, Dr. Mark Mobius’ suggestion to invest into Thailand is good, but he doesn’t take into consideration how Thailand’s economy is not built on sustainability!

Thailand’s economy is dependent upon a great deal of factors over which it hasn’t any control. Example, 50% of the energy sector is based upon dirty energy, petroleum, coal, etc. …

But, Thailand’s development is based 100% upon dirty energy, as there is not one sustainable energy power station in Thailand yet …

So, there is the constant concern, worry and risk should the supplies change, the cost change, or anything to cause a change, all of Thailand will be effected..

And that is just one sector.

Wake up Thailand!

I have good reason to hope these sorts of events will be a regular thing – as long as we can get the kind of global names that people want to hear.

A wonderful summary of what was said – well done. I think for the majority of the audience it was refreshing to hear someone like Dr. Mobius being so candid and honest. For most people when the market goes down they sell, but for him it’s just time to buy more.

There’ll be a follow-up interview in the July edition of BusinessWeek Thailand, delving deeper into some of the points that Dr. Mobius eluded to.
