Laem Chabang Laem Chabang Port centers on Thailand's view of the future. With the congested conditions at the Bangkok, plus the port's inability to service large ocean-going container ships, it was a natural development in Thailand's economic expansion to plan a port which would be appropriate to the needs of a high growth economy. This, coupled with the opening up of the countries of Indochina on Thailand's eastern frontiers, made the site at Laem Chabang a perfect place to handle large ocean-going ships while developing the infrastructure in and around the port to service trade with the countries of Indochina. Location The Laem Chabang Commercial Port, covering an area of about 1,000 hectares, is located in Sri Racha and Bang Lamung Districts, Cholburi Province, approximately 100 km southeast of Bangkok.
