    Thailand has more than 465,000 kilometers of roads and a vast highway network connecting each region nationwide. We are also continuously upgrading and constructing new international road networks. Our goal is to increase regional cooperation with numerous fast-growing countries such as China, India, Viet Nam, Malaysia and Singapore and become a major hub of regional road connectivity.

  • Rail Systems and Mass Transit

    More than 4,000 kilometers of railway lines connect the various regions of Thailand. Plans are in the works to build both double-track railways and high speed trains, enabling a better connection with neighboring countries. A new mass transit system in Bangkok is also under construction. A total of more than 175 new stops are expected in the Bangkok Metropolitan Mass Transit system as well as in the rail connection between the Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports.

  • Competitive Corporate Income Tax

    With the reduction of the successive corporate income tax to 20% in 2013, the corporate tax rate in Thailand ranks as the 2nd lowest in the ASEAN countries. Not only has this led to an increase in economic activities and investments in Thailand but it has also put the kingdom in a competitive position against other countries.
