Abstract
The pandemic of COVID-19 has impacted negatively on the workforce. It has had a substantial impact in the construction industry. Construction firms and workers are especially exposed to the pandemic’s severe decrease in economic activity since construction is sensitive to economic cycles. COVID-19-related health consequences have increased decent work shortages in the construction industry. This research aims to identify the problems caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and how they impact Thai construction projects. The problems and impacts in this study were explored through interviews and attending panel discussions with experienced experts in Thai construction projects and secondary data collected through articles, newspapers, and journals. This paper highlighted the problems caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the government actions on the issue, and their impacts on the construction projects. This research finding will be useful for contractors or construction stakeholders to understand the impact of the pandemic on construction projects and help them establish the most suitable ways on how to continue construction work in this situation.
