Investment in Physical infrastructure should be accompanied by investment in the soft infrastructure. As shown by the Logistics Performance Index, Thailand ranks 38 out of 155 countries and performs relatively poorly on the dimensions of customs clearance procedures and the capacity of public and private logistics service provider (Figure 3.2); the latter includes the ability of the State Railways of Thailand deliver rail services. Hence, in order to raise Thailand's logistics competitiveness, the new physical infrastructure would need to be accompanied by efficient procedures, rules and regulations, as well as institutional capacity to manage the service delivery of the infrastructures.
