The recently-opened second Thai-Myanmar Friendship Bridge is set to increase the Thai exports via Mae Sot checkpoint in Tak province next year to reach Bt105 billion-Bt110 billion, up 3.0-8.0 percent, according to Kasikorn Research Center.

 

The new bridge coupled with the Initial Implementation of Cross-Border Transport Facilitation Agreement will not only save transport cost and time, but also mark a turning point in making Thailand a center that links the manufacturing bases in the three countries Myanmar, Thailand and Laos.

 

On October 31, 2019, Transport Minister Saksayam Chidchob opened the second Thai-Myanmar Friendship Bridge with Myanmar Construction Minister Han Zaw. Linking Mae Sot district and Myanmar’s Myawaddy, the new bridge will also ease the traffic congestion at the first friendship bridge.
