If we focus on opportunity especially in Thailand , we has a unique advantage because of its geographical location. It provides easy accessibility to all major ports in the vicinity, including Japan, China and India as well as emerging economies like Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos. Thailand has also committed to the South Asia Free Trade Agreement (SAFTA) and the Indo-Thai Free Trade Agreement, which have improved its trade ties within the region. These factors have resulted in the growth of some major ports like LaemChabang, KlongToey and Bangkok
Thailand also has an extensive road network. With a road density of around 125.7 kilometers per thousand square kilometers, Thailand presently ranks third in the ASEAN region. With the possibility of a Trans-Asian highway networking most countries on the Asian mainland, Thailand could become a regional logistics hub of ASEAN as it is contiguous with countries such as Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia and Myanmar. In addition, the Government has taken initiatives to improve the country's road and rail infrastructure network to match global standards. In 2005, the government announced a plan to invest US$45 billion in infrastructural development over the next 5 years.
The growth of air transport infrastructure also has the potential to place Thailand at a logistical advantage. The opening up of the prestigious Suvarnabhumi airport recently, serves to boost Thailand's position in the regional air freight market.
International logistics companies may choose to make Thailand as their regional operations hub due to the country's booming industrial activities and excellent geographical location. Many foreign automotive companies such as General Motors and Toyota have already made Thailand as their regional manufacturing hub. Increasing exports of furniture and apparel industries could add further momentum to logistics sector in the country.
