Thailand, among other ASEAN countries, is rolling out the pandemic safe house and rolling up its sleeves to continue making progress reaching its multiple goals involved in transitioning to Thailand Industry 4.0, the next generation of the country’s industrial development. Concentrated in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), supporting infrastructure developments include upgrading U-Tapao International Airport, High-Speed Rail Linking 3 Airports, extensions to Motorway No. 7 and other routes, and Laem Chabang Seaport Phase 3. Increased carbon emissions alongside such developments are, however, unavoidable.
With well-laid plans including initiatives to reduce poverty in past years, Thailand’s growing pains have led to better perspectives that in turn are propelling new initiatives that enable the bold steps to be taken prudently and sustainably. Meanwhile, foreign trade partnerships continue to prove good strategic moves in keeping Thailand on the right track.
