Beyond Container! Bangkok Port Transforms 520 Rai into a Smart Logistics Hub and Modern Mixed-Use Space

Thailand continues to advance its logistics system. Most recently, the Ministry of Transport has launched the "Beyond Container" initiative, aiming to upgrade 520 rai of land at Bangkok Port (Khlong Toei)—an area previously underutilized—into a future-oriented Smart Port and a comprehensive mixed-use space.

The project is overseen by four expert subcommittees, each focusing on these key areas:

• Master Planning and Action Plan Implementation: Developing the site layout and driving the operational plan.
• Community Development: Upgrading the Khlong Toei community in parallel with the port’s development.
  Traffic and Environmental Management: Ensuring sustainable solutions for transportation and environmental concerns.
• Public Engagement: Actively listening to local residents to minimize negative impacts on surrounding communities and the environment, maximizing national benefit.
  
  

By May 2026, a clear development plan is expected to be finalized, following detailed studies by a consulting team. The project also aims to expand to the remaining 1,833 rai in subsequent phases. This investment is designed to sustainably elevate Thailand’s economy and create a balanced quality of life for all in Bangkok.
