investments. Thai policy makers should consider diminishing regulations and measures
that has been obstructing trade and investment in order to import creative goods and
services and foreign investment that helps expanding ideas for creative added values
of Thai goods and services. This also helps stimulating competitiveness and creating
economic values of Thai industry. Furthermore, Thai policy makers should consider
the measures to support and enhance Thai creative industry development with its
competitive capacity in the world market. Ideas can be both indigenous and creative.
Creativity originates from imagination and individual gifts. Economic development,
thus, needs to be based on utilization of creativity and knowledge. Creativity and
intellectual property can also be based on culture i.e. accumulation of knowledge of
the society, technology and innovation for producing new goods and services that
