Have you ever thought that “retirement” is still far away, so there’s no need to plan now?
The truth is, what we decide to do today will shape the quality of our life after work in the future. The earlier we start, the more time we have to prepare.
We also have a greater chance to build higher returns and can enjoy life after retirement with freedom, stability, and peace of mind.
In today’s digital world, where technology plays a big role in daily life, one of the biggest changes we can see is the move toward a Cashless Society. This means making payments and financial transactions without carrying cash anymore. Shopping, paying bills, or even sending money can now be done with just a few taps, through credit cards, debit cards, banking apps, or electronic wallets (e-Wallets), which have now become part of almost everyone’s daily life.
In recent years, Thailand’s economy has faced many challenges from the impact of COVID-19 and a slow recovery to household debt problems—which have kept people’s purchasing power from returning to normal. To boost the economy with visible results, the government introduced several stimulus measures. One of the most popular and widely discussed is the ‘Khon La Khrueng’ (Half-Half) scheme.
In 2025, a major turning point emerged in the global financial system: for the first time in nearly 30 years since 1996 central banks around the world now hold more gold by value than U.S. government bonds. This shift highlights a growing process of “de-dollarization,” as nations steadily reduce their reliance on the U.S. dollar. The move reflects mounting concerns over U.S. fiscal stability, intensifying geopolitical tensions, and the use of the dollar as a “financial weapon” through international standards.
Bangkok has been ranked as the best city in the world for Gen Z, according to Time Out’s annual ranking. In addition to highlighting cities renowned for their food, culture, and nightlife, this year’s survey introduced a new category: “Best Cities for Young People to Live In,” specifically focusing on those born between 1977 and 2012.
When people think of Thailand, street food is often one of the first things that comes to mind. It can be found everywhere — in small alleys, from food carts, night markets, or little stalls by the roadside. It has a unique charm that combines great taste, good value for money, and rich culture. This mix has made Thai street food rank among the “Best Street Food in the World.” That’s why it has captured the hearts of both Thais and foreigners alike.
In recent years, the global and Thai economies have faced growing uncertainty from persistent inflation and the fluctuating value of the baht, to geopolitical tensions and intense foreign competition. These challenges have had a significant impact on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) which remain particularly vulnerable to sudden economic shifts. As a result, SMEs are being forced to accelerate their adaptation strategies in order to survive and grow sustainably in this increasingly volatile environment.
In the modern era, international competition is no longer defined solely by economic strength. By 2025, “soft power” has become a key strategy focused on projecting cultural appeal and national values to build credibility and global influence. Thailand, recognizing this shift, continues to actively expand its soft power reach, showcasing its rich cultural heritage, creativity, and identity on the global stage.
In an era where the global economy is becoming increasingly uncertain due to various factors such as inflation, fluctuating oil prices, and changes in central bank policies around the world, the policy interest rate has become one of the most important tools used to manage economic conditions.Especially interest rates that continue to rise in many countries, including Thailand.
After the COVID-19 outbreak, many Thai people have started travelling abroad. Using credit cards to pay for goods and services abroad has become a popular choice for many people instead of exchanging cash because of the convenience, safety, and have many privileges such as reward points or cash back.
