15. The establishment of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in 2015 will only
further enhance Thailand’s attractiveness. The AEC will serve as a massive
single market that is fully integrated into the global economy with equitable
economic development. The 10 member states of ASEAN collectively offer
close to 600 million consumers. The AEC will open new doors to manufacturers
by transforming ASEAN into a region with free movement of goods, capital,
services, investment and workforce.
Excellent logistics systems: Thailand boasts world-class
infrastructure, including state-of-the-art ports, airports and communication
facilities. Suvarnabhumi International Airport and Laem Chabang Deep Sea
Port offer manufacturers the transportation foundation they need for their
export operations. The 225 km of inter-city motorways – currently in expansion
– linking Bangkok to other regions of the country, also facilitate overall domestic
transportation. In addition, Thailand is a hub of transportation in the Southeast
Asia region; the perfect route through the east-west and north-south corridor
that can distribute products to nearby countries including Laos, Cambodia,
Vietnam, Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore and also southern China from the north
and northeast of the Kingdom.
Development of electronics clusters: In an effort to promote
productivity and efficiency in the industry, the government has been proactive
in encouraging the development of electronic clusters. Proximity between firms
and their input suppliers within the clusters enhances communication and
