2009年的泰国面临诸多难题。在经济领域,泰国的外向型经济受国际经济形势的影响,出现了近10年来的首次负增长,而国内的政局动荡更是为经济复苏增添了不确定性因素。在政治领域,一方面是“反他信”与“挺他信”之争仍在继续,红衫军的街头暴动甚至造成了东盟峰会的延期;另一方面,阿披实执政后,民主党与盟党、黄衫军、军方之间,以及民主党内部的分歧开始不断扩大。在外交方面,因柏威夏寺问题而处于紧张状态的泰柬关系,由于柬埔寨总理洪森聘请他信出任政府经济顾问而进一步恶化,两国陷入外交僵局。
<<In 2009,Thailand confronted with many difficulties. In economic field,the export-oriented economy of Thailand was affected by the global economic situation,and its GDP suffered its first negative growth in the last ten years. Further more,the unstable of the political situation has become one of the uncertain factors which are hindering the economic recovery. In political field,on the one hand,the fierce conflict between the anti-Thaksin group and the pro-Thaksin group kept on going;on the other hand,after Abhisit came to power,the conflicts between the Democrat Party and the alliance parties,the People’s Alliance for Democracy,the junta,and even the conflict among the Democrat Party itself,have became more and more serious. In diplomatic field,after Hun Sen,the prime minister of Cambodia,engaged Thaksin to be an economic counsel of Cambodia government,the Thai-Cambodia relations,which had been in a severely strained situation for the Preah Vihear Temple problem,became further deterioration and fell into a diplomatic stalemate.
