With a laudable overall score of 70.53, this enchanting kingdom stands proudly in 35th place on a global scale of digital dynamism—thanks to the Swiss-based institute’s meticulous assessment.
Allow me to paint you a picture of the leaderboard. Perched on the apex of digital supremacy is the United States, radiating excellence with a flawless score of 100. Hot on its heels are the Netherlands and Singapore, with scores so breathtakingly close at 98.1 and 97.4, respectively, they could practically feel America’s lightning-fast digital pulse.
In the domain of digital knowledge, Thailand peers from the 41st position with a score of 55.99, showcasing a repository of erudition just waiting to be capitalized upon.

When we talk about future readiness, a crystal ball reflection of potential and preparedness, the kingdom is positioned at 42nd with a score of 57.23. However, rumor has it that plans are already in place to turbocharge this score, as Thailand’s aspirations soar high above the digital clouds.
Let’s not forget the regional derby—Thailand clinches the bronze in the Asean digital competitiveness race, trailing the tech titan, Singapore, and the digital dynamo, Malaysia. Indonesia, with a crafty maneuver, scales six places to 45th, as the Philippines experiences a slight stumble, descending three spots to 59th.
Mr. Theeranan Srihong, the visionary president of the Thailand Management Association, shared a glimpse into the kingdom’s digital dominion. He credited the meteoric rise in digital knowledge and technology to the explosive evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) and its related disciplines.
The crystal ball prognosticates that Thailand’s future readiness requires a pinch more seasoning, notably in cultivating a legion of digitally savvy workers and in reshaping regulations to become a beacon for international talent. With sights set on the not-so-distant horizon, the nation’s gaze is fixated on mastering advanced AI technology, fortifying the bastions of cybersecurity and enshrining the sanctity of privacy protection—areas where the IMD has cast a spotlight with global ranks of 58th and 43rd, respectively.
Brace yourself for an exhilarating journey as Thailand strides into the coming year with an unwavering commitment to ascend the digital echelons. The stage is set, the players are ready, and the world is watching with bated breath.
