Chinese investors are developing a large mixed-use commercial project in Si Racha district, Chonburi, creating a business centre designed to serve the growing Chinese community working in Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor.

The development, located near Ta Jui Weir along the Huai Prap-Pong Saked Road in Moo 3, Bo Win subdistrict, covers more than 100 rai. Reports on 30 June 2026 said the project has already begun operating a range of Chinese-focused businesses while further construction continues.

The site includes a variety of commercial outlets, with signs advertising retail space for rent written in Chinese. Most shopfronts and business signs throughout the complex are also in Chinese, although some locations include Thai language alongside them.

Businesses already operating at the development include upscale Chinese restaurants, Chinese noodle shops, Chinese building materials suppliers and a Chinese supermarket. The supermarket stocks imported goods from China, with products carrying Chinese-language labels.

Many employees working within the businesses are foreign nationals, including Chinese and Myanmar workers. The project is believed to be targeting Chinese nationals employed at industrial estates across Chonburi and neighbouring Rayong province, where thousands of Chinese workers are based.

The expansion reflects the continued presence of Chinese businesses and investment in eastern Thailand, particularly in areas surrounding major industrial zones. Bo Win has become a key residential and commercial centre supporting workers employed in manufacturing and related industries throughout the region.

Khaosod reported that the development is expected to continue expanding as construction progresses across the more than 100-rai site. It remains intended to provide a comprehensive range of services and retail facilities primarily for Chinese residents and workers.

China's colonization advances.

Why the silence from all the ultra-nationalist Thais and the Thai military?

Because they are Chinese?

Because they know that it will be pointless, not to say ridiculous, to do that.

No doubt with their own (let's deny the fact) in house police station too..................
