Contents I. Introduction
The economic integration in Southeast Asia, ASEAN Economic Community, launched at the end of 2015 has propelled cross-border trade among their members. An international company can freely move its raw material, parts, and sub-assembly cross between borders and territories. Thai government established special economic zones, area on its borders with emerging markets, such as Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar to promote trade and attract foreign investors. The development of key infrastructures is a crucial role for these special economic zones. Thai government has a development plan to improve or upgrade infrastructure such as dual-track rails, roads, airport, and intermodal transport system. The intermodal transport is the transportation using more than one different mode of transport from the sender to the receiver under a single freight bill. Not only the intermodal transport can reduce cost of transportation by exploiting advantage of each mode of transport, but also the intermodal transport give flexibility for a shipper to select an appropriate route to meet other criteria such as time constraint. Another benefit of intermodal transport is to avoid the transportation network disruptions.
