Two major new motorway projects are being planned for Thailand. These works form part of a wider programme intended to improve transportation in the country.

Thailand has set an impressive budget of US$44.8 billion for the transport development programme. The two motorway projects are for the 96km M81 connection between Kanchanaburi and Yang Bai and the 196km M6 connection linking Bang Pa-in with Nakhon Ratchasima.

Other transport works for Thailand will build include new rail links and developments to airport facilities.
