Cross-Border Trades and Commerce between Thailand and Neighboring Countries: Policy Implications for Establishing Special Border Economic Zones

---

Regional economic integration leads to closer interdependence within the Greater Mekong sub-region (GMS)
especially for trade and commerce. Contributing factors to cross-border trade expansion between Thailand and
four neighboring countries, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Malaysia and Myanmar (CLMM) have been studied, as well
as an analysis of its pattern and trend utilizing time series data from1996–2012. This study found a rapid
increase of local and regional cross-border trade, cross-border shopping and mobility of people. Cross-border
traded goods are mainly produced in Bangkok and its vicinity and the eastern region of Thailand. Thai border
cities currently play major roles as distribution centers; while industrial development along Thai border regions
has not progressed enough to capture the full potential of this trade. The development of emerging border
economic zones (BEZs) could be a means as well as a strategy not only to minimize interregional and intraregional
disparities within Thailand but also to foster integrated borderland development with less developed
countries surrounding Thailand. Therefore, this study aimed to identify prospective locations for joint border
economic zones across Thailand to suggest an enabling policy in realizing BEZs
