Japan’s relationship with Thailand is long and enduring. Business relations and cultural connections have combined to support the growth of Bangkok’s largest expat community.
Automotive, information technology and agriculture are key business segments and many Japanese industrial groups have set up bases in Thailand and have influenced the growth and development of multiple business categories in Thailand. Japan has been the largest investor in Thailand business over the past five decades[1], reaching $6.7 billion in 2018[2], an increase from 2017’s $4 billion worth of investment.
With the recent introduction of a visa exemption program, Japan has become the number one destination for Thai tourists. This has resulted in greater familiarity of Japan, its culture and its people. No wonder there has been a growing increase in demand by Thais to study in Japan.
Japan is fast becoming one of the main choices for international students and the international student population in Japan grew by 12% in 2019 with at least 31,938 new applicants last year, according to the Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO). In terms of advanced education, over 140,000 international students in 2019 chose Japan for their advanced and higher education. Almost 10% of Thai students who study overseas choose Japan[3].
