Trends of forestry and the wood processing industry in Thailand were observed using historical forestry statistics from 1997 to 2008. The deforestation rate slowed down during this period, and land clearing and illegal logging also seemed to be decreasing as a result of forest conservation. Efforts for reforestation by tree planting were also observed, but these did not seem to cause a marked increase in the forested area. Production of rubber sawn wood drastically increased. Pulp production also increased. Rubber plantation areas continued to increase all over the country. Rubber wood was considered to be continuously important as a raw material for the wood processing industry. On the other hand, teak wood was provided mainly from neighboring countries such as Myanmar and Laos. Given that teak wood resources from these countries are decreasing, expansion and supply of domestic teak wood from tree plantations are highly expected. The importance of expansion of widespread data collection on forestry and the wood processing industry should be emphasized for further analysis and planning for the future.
