Alarm systems and security systems are big business all over the world. Thailand is no exception. The scale of installation of these systems is still quite small in comparison to more affluent western countries however the scope and range of facilities needing to be fitted out with these systems are pretty much the same. A special Tsunami alarm system has been installed in the areas hit last year by the massive waves which caused so much destruction and loss of life.

Home security systems, home alarm systems

Burglary and theft of goods from homes has historically not been a major issue in Thailand. With Thai people mainly living in small communities 'moo baans' have been protected by community security and a general feeling of everyone knowing everyone else. Nowadays however the Thai social structure is changing. In the suburban areas of Bangkok High class and middle class housing developments are springing up next door to areas of relative poverty. The 'Have' and 'have not' gap is widening and the poorer elements of society are striving to narrow the gap by relieving their richer counterparts of their material possessions.

To overcome this local security systems are installed whenever a new housing development is started. Labour is cheap here in Thailand. The security business is huge. Hundreds of small security firms and some large players supply thousands of security guards to protect every type of establishment. Security appears to ne tighter and more noticeable during the construction phase, probably to discourage the theft of the building materials by the construction workers. Upon completion a guard post is manned at the entrance to the housing estate and maybe a mobile patrol instigated. The security guards look smart in their pressed uniforms and shiny boots but don't seem to be too smart in the head. They are recruited usually from up-country rural communities. I am not so sure that poor up country security guards guarding rich city folk houses is a smart option.

Commercial security systems, Commercial alarm systems

As with the the explanation above with regard to housing developments commercial buildings, industrial properties, factories and offices need to be protected also. There is also the problem of internal security. With Thai workers getting such low wages and salaries compared to the goods that they are producing theft by employees can be a major problem. CCTV in the workplace and in rest areas is now common in Thai factories and offices.

Personal security systems, Personal alarm systems

Thank goodness Thailand does not suffer the scourge of carjackings, hostage taking and general mayhem that seems to beset many third world, developing, countries that are found in the Middle East, Africa and Central America. Bangkok although huge can not be compared to Mexico city or Sao Paulo in terms of personal security nightmares.

Alarm system manufacturers, Importers, Exporters

It is difficult to quantify if Thailand is a net importer or exporter of alarm systems and security systems. The technology and know how is often imported however increasingly nowadays the electronic systems are being produced in Thailand for domestic use and for export.
