4 indexes (from the BOT) on the same chart.
Private Investment Index
Composite Private Consumption Index
Manufacturing Production Index
Business Sentiment Index
-The dip in april for Manufacturing is of course seasonal (Songkran holiday).
-The continous growth of private consumption is in line with other indicators.
-Private Investment after a peak in february goes down again. And Business Sentiment remain weak.
Usually, I’m not a big fan of indexes (people can argue indefinitely about components and… weights)… but… anyway the BOT did it. So I follow. 
You can have a look on the details of components on the website of the BOT.
Note : for the Business Sentiment Index, I’ve added 100 for a scale matter and to ease the reading (index april = 43, not 143).
