The study considered the case of Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) sector operating in Thailand. The research design of the study was quantitative and the research instrument was a close-ended survey questionnaire, therefore, this research used the primary method of data collection. The final sample of the study was based on 420 participants based on employees working in the SMEs firms and were associated with supply chain practices. The analysis was conducted on SmartPLS and the technique which was implemented to attain the aim was Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). Considering this, the data was analysed using measurement model and path assessment with reflective constructs. The results revealed that the overall effect of GSCM on the SMEs sector’s performance was significant. However, individually, the effect of cooperation with costumers, green information system, green manufacturing and reverse logistics has been computed to be significant. The study is limited to the SMEs sector only that is operating within the geographical bounds of Thailand. It has also undertaken limited factors depicting GSCM. Nonetheless, the research has various implications for the SMEs of Thailand, its managers and workers.
