Thailand's economy spans tourism and hospitality, manufacturing (automotive, electronics), agriculture, and services.

Is Optometrist a regulated route in Thailand?

Optometrist is a regulated profession in most countries: you usually register with a national health or nursing council and have your credentials verified before you can practise — a step that is separate from your degree. Confirm the licensing body for Thailand early, because it often takes longer than the job search itself.
