**Thailand is emerging as a key ASEAN logistics hub, strengthening infrastructure
like Laem Chabang port, EEC development, and digital upgrades, boosting supply chain
resilience amid evolving global disruptions.**

### Thailand’s Strategic Role in ASEAN Supply Chains

Amid ongoing global disruptions caused by COVID-19, geopolitical tensions, and rising
costs in China, Thailand has established itself as a critical hub in ASEAN’s supply
chain resilience. Its advantageous geographic position, advanced infrastructure,
and business-friendly policies make it an ideal location for reshoring, nearshoring,
and regional diversification efforts.

### Evolving Logistics and Infrastructure

Thailand’s logistics sector continues to develop, centered around its key port, 
Laem Chabang, which handled 9.46 million TEUs in FY 2024, reflecting increased maritime
trade. The nation’s port infrastructure is bolstered by Map Ta Phut, Sattahip, and
the Land Bridge megaproject, designed to connect the Andaman Sea with the Gulf of
Thailand and reduce reliance on the Strait of Malacca.

### Foundations for Future Growth

The Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), spanning Rayong, Chachoengsao, and Chonburi
provinces, has become Thailand’s industrial hub, attracting 1.35 trillion baht (
$37 billion) in investments. It features high-speed rail links, integrated warehouses,
and expanded U-Tapao Airport, projecting robust growth. Additionally, a 115 billion
baht infrastructure stimulus in early 2025 aims to upgrade roads, logistics hubs,
and digital networks, strengthening supply chain resilience. Thailand’s automotive
industry remains vital, contributing 10% of GDP and maintaining its position as 
ASEAN’s top auto producer, despite recent production declines due to global supply
challenges.
