Thailand

In Thailand, our programs address many of the country’s greatest challenges including the middle-income trap, education reform, women’s workforce participation, and the transition to a low-carbon economy. The Asia Foundation and its local partners also support Thailand’s role in ASEAN and the Mekong subregion to address regional challenges.

In 2020, The Asia Foundation launched Thailandlearning.org, an online learning portal for Thai students and educators disrupted by the Covid-19 crisis. The learning portal provides access to quality educational tools and resources from across Thailand and around the world in a single site.
