What are the financial crisis of Thailand?

The financial crisis in Thailand, often referred to as the Asian Financial Crisis, began in July 1997 when the Thai baht was devalued due to speculative attacks and a lack of foreign reserves. This led to a severe economic downturn, resulting in a collapse of the banking sector, widespread bankruptcies, and a recession. The crisis spread to other Asian countries, causing regional economic turmoil. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) intervened with a bailout package, but the crisis highlighted vulnerabilities in Thailand's financial system and the need for economic reforms.
