Thailand Transportation Sector Report 2020-2021 2

The importance of developing the transportation sector in Thailand has gained significance as the country is being promoted as a regional trading hub and an attractive destination for tourism. Reducing logistical challenges is on the government agenda, so projects are being announced across transport modes to create an integrated transport network. Transportation and storage GVA accounted for 6.0% of GDP in 2019. The sector employed 1.3mn people in 2019, accounting for nearly 3.5% of total employment in the country. Exports drive international freight traffic and roads are a predominant mode for freight and passenger transportation but as they are also the least cost effective, a modal switch to railways is being promoted. Tourism drives passenger demand for international and domestic air traffic.​
