The Laem Chabang Port is located on the coast of the Siam Lough 130 km south-west to Bangkok. It is the first special Port for foreign lines in Thailand opened in 1991. Since the existing port of Klongtoey is a river berth and is shallow, the large-scale container vessels are impossible to inbound directly.
