The Department of Foreign Trade recently celebrated the success of the “Prachuap Khiri Khan Border Trade Expo” held June 13–16, 2025. The event strengthened border business networks and helped boost trade value through the Singkhon checkpoint—the gateway to Myanmar—to an impressive 7.2 billion baht last year.
🔑 Three reasons why Prachuap is nationally important:
1️⃣ The golden gateway to Myanmar via Singkhon checkpoint, generating 7.2 billion baht in trade (2024)
2️⃣ A key artery for transporting goods such as fresh fruit, processed foods, and ethylene
3️⃣ A grassroots economic base that uplifts community enterprises into the ASEAN market
✨ Highlights from the event:
✅ Online business matching connecting cross-border partners
✅ Local cultural performances and lively mini-concerts
✅ Full support from government and private sectors
Developing border economies not only generates income for small businesses but also spreads opportunities, strengthens national security, and sustainably links Thailand with neighboring countries.
