What happened when a financial crisis struck Thailand in 1997?

In 1997, Thailand experienced a severe financial crisis triggered by the collapse of the Thai baht, which was forced to float after the government could no longer maintain its fixed exchange rate. This led to a rapid devaluation of the currency, resulting in widespread bankruptcies, a surge in unemployment, and significant economic contraction. The crisis quickly spread to other Asian economies, resulting in a regional financial turmoil known as the Asian Financial Crisis. In response, Thailand received a bailout from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and implemented extensive economic reforms to stabilize its economy.
