Eine sicherlich auch für den Isaan interessante Meldung zum Schwerlastverkehr zwischen Thailand Laos (und China) fand ich diese Woche in der Chiang Mai Mail (Chiangmai Mail - Vol. VII No. 38 - Tuesday September 16 - September 22, 2008   News):
"Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai to benefit from new Laos-Thailand route
CMM Reporters
A Memorandum of Understanding, (MOU), was signed between Thailand and Laos Friday 6, confirming a transport agreement between the two countries which will hopefully cut transportation costs, improve efficiency and boost tourism in the northern provinces of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai.
The MOU, signed by the Thai Land Transport Department’s acting director-general, Chairat Sa-nguansue, and his Lao counterpart, Viengsavath Siphandone, relates to a new route from Luang Prabang in northern Laos to Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. Private bus companies will be encouraged to invest in and use the route, and the government-owned Transport Co., Ltd. will be asked to set up services. In a boost to tourism, new routes for buses travelling between Laos and the north-eastern province of Nakhon Ratchasima to Pattaya in the south will also be established, as, according to Chairat, both destinations are popular with Laotians.
The transit of goods between the two countries, vastly increased during the last year and presently involving 452 companies and approximately 10,000 trucks per day, is also expected to receive a further boost. The two countries have an agreement which permits vehicles to pass border checkpoints using a special license plate."
