The main objective of this research is to study the determinants and obstacles of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Thailand's textile industry. Three sub industries ; synthetic fiber, weaving and garment are selected for this study. AJI firms under the study are located in Bangkok and metropolitan areas. Investors are classified into 2 categories; by sub industries and by country of investors (Japanese, Asian NIEs, and European & USA). The descriptive research method as well as other two statistical techniques; ANOVA and multiple comparisons are used เท the research. Primary data used in the study are derived from 31 companies of which 9 are in synthetic fiber , 10 are in weaving and 12 in garment industries. It is found that synthetic fiber and weaving FDI firms use the "producer driven chain" in their production processes whereas garment FDI firms use the "buyer driven chain". As far as FDI determinants are concerned, it is found that investors by sub industry groups perceive the significance of each factor not different from each other while investors by country yield different results. Japanese investors give more importance to marketing and location determinants whereas Asian NIEs investors give more importance to labor cost. For the USA and European investors, they give more importance to government incentives. For major problems and obstacles, it is found that the four major ones are corruption, red tape, electricity scarcity and ports problems. These problems and obstacles are the same among investors, either by sub industry groups or by country of investors.
