The Transport Minister met Thai trucking associations on 9 September 2026 about Chinese-origin trucks entering via Laos under the GMS CBTA. Thai operators say foreign trucks are running off approved routes and taking domestic cargo, including in the south, and undercutting prices. The Department of Land Transport is preparing a rule requiring foreign cargo and bus vehicles to install GPS, and will check their insurance. Raising the current 50,000-baht maximum fine is only under study. If you run a domestic haulage or logistics business, expect tighter enforcement and possibly lower rate pressure, but no rule is in force yet.
