Business types follow the Thailand Standard Industrial Classification (5-digit TSIC); 936 types have scores.

Other provinces in this region

How to read the scores
  • Opportunity index (0–100): higher means more business opportunity. It combines market size, competition and market conditions with industry factors such as labour and invested capital.
  • Risk index (0–100): higher means higher business risk, e.g. lower survival rates and more volatile performance.
  • “—” means DBD gives no score because there are too few firms of that kind in the province.
