BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's economy is expected to contract between 2.5 percent and 3.5 percent in 2009, the state economic planning agency said on Monday.

In February, the National Economic and Social Development Board had forecast a range of zero growth to a contraction of 1.0 percent.

Analysts polled by Reuters last week forecast GDP in 2009 would fall 3.7 percent after it rose 2.6 percent in 2008.
