- Abstract
This article examines recommended strategies for Thailand's small navy amid the Indo-Pacific's great-power maritime rivalry. It argues that while Thailand has pursued these strategies, it has only achieved partial success. Synthesizing existing literature, limitations, and case studies, the article establishes a concrete definition of small navy strategies. Utilizing SWOT analysis and the TOWS matrix (strengths and weaknesses against external opportunities and threats), it identifies recommended strategies for Thailand's small navy and compares them with current policies and practices. These insights, previously absent in Thai maritime security literature, are complemented by exclusive information from related policy practitioners. By shedding light on Thailand's case studies, the article offers valuable insights for policy practitioners involved in executing strategies, military operations, and diplomacy in the region.
