Project Description

Thailand aims to develop Laem Chabang Port as a gateway to neighboring countries in the GMS, and to promote a modal shift from road to rail transport. Cross-border railway projects have been emphasized by the Government of Viet Nam, i.e., Nong Khai-Thanaleng-Vientiane, to connect with the Lao People-s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR); Aranyaprathet-Klong Luk-Poipet, to connect with Cambodia; and Kanchanaburi-Dawei, to connect with Myanmar. Thailand seeks to formulate a clear development plan for dry ports, which function as cross-border facilities or inland container terminals, connected via GMS economic corridors. The dry ports should also be maximized by considering connections with other important ports in the GMS, such as Dawei, Myanmar; Sihanoukville, Cambodia; and Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Viet Nam. The TA study will determine the need for dry ports at strategic rail locations on international borders.
