- In 2023, the Thai government initiated the Eastern Aviation City project worth THB 290 billion (USD 8.8 billion). This involves the transformation of U-Tapao Airport, a facility dating back to the Vietnam War in Rayong, into a global aviation hub. The upgraded airport will be linked to Don Muang Airport and Suvarnabhumi Airport. Spanning 1,040 hectares, the project encompasses the construction of a new terminal and the establishment of a cargo-free trade zone.
- Thailand is advancing its transportation and logistics landscape, positioning itself as the ASEAN's transportation nucleus. The country's increasing urbanization has spurred a demand for transportation enhancements. As of 2021, Thailand's national infrastructure development program allocated USD 25.2 billion across 36 projects. These projects encompass a wide spectrum, ranging from rail and road upgrades to public transport enhancements, airport expansions, and seaport developments across the nation. Notable initiatives include the U-Tapao airport overhaul, upgrades to Sattahip, Laem Chabang, and Map Ta Phut seaports, the implementation of high-speed and double-track railways, and the expansion of Bangkok's public transport network.
- Thailand aims to convert about 30% of its annual production of 2.5 million vehicles into EVs by 2030 and is preparing incentives to encourage more investment and conversion into EV manufacturing. Thailand plans to provide incentives and tax breaks for manufacturers setting up electric vehicle R&D centers as it seeks to build on early success as a regional EV frontrunner. Various Chinese automobile manufacturers have committed to invest USD 1.44 billion in new production facilities in Thailand, with BYD investing nearly USD 500 million to produce 150,000 EVs a year.
