On the domestic front, <strong>vehicle registrations are declining<\/strong>, while <strong>cement sales have contracted by 8%<\/strong>, pointing to weaker investment and construction activity. Meanwhile, <strong>farmers\u2019 incomes are shrinking<\/strong> and <strong>consumer confidence has slipped to 50.1<\/strong>, reflecting a cautious mood nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What This Means for Entrepreneurs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When uncertainty rises, every baht counts.
