According to Transport Minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith, next year's investment plan for the EEC covers 103 projects, most of them due to finish in a five-year period. Projects to be launched next year include improvements to roads linking Laem Chabang port and U-tapao airport, a Map Ta Phut port expansion and development of highways in the three EEC provinces. Others are the third phase of Laem Chabang port, the aircraft repair and maintenance hub at U-tapao and the Bangkok-Rayong high-speed rail network. The Laem Chabang port expansion is estimated to require an 88-billion-baht investment. The ToR of those projects in the first phase will likely be issued by the first quarter of 2018.
