WHY EEC?

Eastern Economic Corridor or EEC is an area-based development initiative, one of the mega projects under the Thailand 4.0 scheme aiming to revitalize the well-known Eastern Seaboard where numerous business developers have experienced a rewarding investment journey and exceptional achievements for 30 years.

The EEC project has initiated and launched many integrated infrastructure development plans to transform the country into an innovative and logistics-wise. As the EEC area will become a gateway to Southeast Asia and Asia Pacific, the projects relating to logistics and 5G have played a significant role for the investors and business opportunities.

The interesting projects are, for example, high-speed rail linking 3 airports, renovating U-Tapao International Airport, extending motorway no. 7, increasing double-track railway, new routes and develop Laem Chabang Port, and more.
