Thailand ranks 35th of the 155 countries in the World Bank’s 2010 Logistics Performance Index
The index is based on a survey of operators on the ground worldwide (global freight forwarders and express carriers), providing feedback on the logistics “friendliness” of the countries in which they operate and those with which they trade.
There are several airline connections daily between Thailand and New Zealand. Thai Airways International offers direct daily flights from Auckland to Bangkok.
There is one direct liner service with four vessels operated by Tasman Orient Lines. COSCO offer an indirect service through Hong Kong. Thailand’s main port is Klong Toey in Bangkok. A newer container-only deep seaport also serving Bangkok is located at Laem Chabang on the Eastern seaboard. In addition, there is a new commercial port located at Map Ta Phut, also on the Eastern Seaboard, serving the growing number of industrial estates in the region.
