Much literature indicates that Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) contributes benefits of technology transfer to the host country, and this study is conducted to investigate whether technology transfer is happening in Thailand or not. The platforms of data collection used for this study are interviews and analysis of the data by qualitative methods. The sampling groups are Tier 1 suppliers of Auto-Parts manufactured in Thailand. The result of this study shows the role Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) plays in the host country as Thailand that FDI does not play an important role for Technology Transfer to Thailand.
