Bangkok [Thailand], October 30: Thailand is developing its northeastern dry port of NongKhai as a regional connectivity hub and pilot border checkpoint, government spokesperson Chai Wacharonke said on Sunday.
Concerned agencies will team up to facilitate commerce in all aspects, making the country investment-worthy with swift cross-border trade and transportation, Chai said in a statement, quoting Prime Minister SretthaThavisin as saying during his field trip to NongKhai province bordering Laos.
