Thailand's Deputy Minister of Transport visited Kanchanaburi province, revealing plans to develop a 126 rai (approximately 50,000 square meters) economic hub in the province. A key objective of this initiative is to develop the 'Wang Yen' area as a rail logistics hub connecting to ASEAN countries. This concept aims to strengthen Thailand's domestic logistics infrastructure, positioning Kanchanaburi province in particular as a gateway to the ASEAN region. This is expected to invigorate the regional economy and enhance the efficiency of international supply chains with Thailand at its core.
