The latest 3rd wave of COVID-19 pandemic is occurring globally from 2020 to 2021 without any sign of significant diminishing. More variants of coronavirus 2019 mutation have been found in Thailand, together with a high mortality rate. While vaccination, an important national agenda, could not yet control the pandemic, the pandemic has caused difficult circumstances in labor-intensive industries, especially the construction industries. Consequently, the researchers became interested in studying the conceptual framework to understand stakeholders’ awareness in the Thai construction industry affected by the 3rd wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially during April–May 2021. And hence did as follows. At first, the researchers studied literature reviews from various academic articles and online databases and gathered information through in-depth interviews via collaboration tools such as the Microsoft team and zoom applications in communicating with thirteen experienced construction practitioners. Secondly, the researchers validated the information and developed a conceptual framework model of stakeholders’ awareness in the construction industry in Thailand. In the model, the researchers found that the pandemic changed the attitudes of Thai practitioners, both confident and satisfaction attitudes, affected working practices, and necessitated stakeholders to assess effects on construction projects and formulate future policies and practical measures at executive and operational levels.
