Ideally located in the heart of Southeast Asia, Thailand is a welcoming tropical country, rich in natural resources and vibrant culture, with diverse geographic regions and popular tourist destinations. As part of the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN - Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam), Thailand has close economic ties with the grouping's 9 other countries and is well advanced in its preparations for joining the ASEAN Economic Community in 2015. Thailand also has well-established FTAs with key trading partners, both directly and through ASEAN, including China, India, Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand and Peru. Its strong manufacturing base and prolific agricultural sector play an important role in the continuing growth of exports of Thai products and services that are such an essential part of Thailand's vibrant economy.
