| Abstract | Due to the main national policy of the government to strengthen the position of Thailand as the economic and transport hub of the region, it is necessary to develop the multimodal transportation which can efficiently link all modes of transport, i.e., land transport (highway and railway), waterway transport, and air transport so that it can reduce the national logistics costs and lessen the energy consumption of transport sector. Although Thailand has developed the strategic planning but still it has not reached the success up to the appropriate level as targeted. Moreover, Thailand has limitations in budget and resources. In order to optimize resources in the right direction and achieve highest efficiency, Thailand needs the effective budget allocation system to comply with multimodal transportation logistics plan. A research has been done based on the two case studies which were conducted on the river port in the north part and deep seaport in the south part of Thailand. A qualitative research technique has been used by taking into account expert's interviews, site observation, and main data source. The finding of this study has shown that the strategic multimodal transportation planning of Thailand has some deficiencies and obstacles in project integration. Therefore, the recommendation of strategic multimodal transportation planning which is developed in the study will help the Government of Thailand, the Bureau of the Budget, Ministry of Transportation, and The departments under the Ministry of transportation, and other participants in project integration to follow the same direction and properly allocate the budget for the projects to achieve the multimodal transportation goa |
