Border crossing trade can an important role in the competitiveness of Thai products in neighboring countries as Thailand has a geographical advantage that connects with neighboring countries making border trade an important part of generating revenue for the country. Thailand - Malaysia border trade study showed that the transit process took a long time resulting in a waiting truck at the checkpoint causing traffic jams and the congestion and congestion of the customs. As a result the average waiting time of the system takes up to 264.19 minutes per trip and transportation cost from 7141.87 baht per trip by reducing the waiting time from the process to 13.41 minutes per trip it was found that the transportation cost was 6975.16 baht per trip (Decrease of 166.71 baht). Reduction the transportation costs and waiting times enhance the potentiality and the competitiveness of border crossing

Results show that The research also found that the availability of resources. Factors of environmental services. Factors of personnel quality of life Product Evaluation The direct positive influence on potential providers of transport tourists with eco-friendly reliability and exceptional factors. A summary of the recommendations to the land transport business in Thailand should have a transportation management system by introducing environmentally friendly transport tourists. Used in the business which would be good for the corporate image and showcase its social responsibility for the public sector should take strict measures for organizing transport by truck to the environmental standards increased.

The research on the factors influencing the creation of competitiveness for exporting Halal food using Thailand - ASEAN logistics route was aimed (1) to study the factors that influenced the ability to compete for exporting Halal food using Thailand - ASEAN logistics route including economic environment resources and operational capabilities financial administration legal administration and logistics and (2) to examine the consistency of the causal model with the empirical data. The variables used in this study were the independent variables including the economic organization organization resources financial administration legal administration and logistics. The independent variable was the ability to compete for exporting Halal food using Thailand - ASEAN logistics route. The researchers used a mixed method of qualitative and quantitative study. Questionnaires were used to collect empirical data from 445 exporter samples. The statistical methods used to analyze data were the frequency percentage mean standard deviation and the analysis on the structural equation model. The results revealed that the model was well consistent with the empirical data. The Chi – Square (2) value was 417.295 at the degrees of freedom (df) of 569 with the probability (p-value) equal to 1.000. The chi - square relative (2/df) was 1.368 with the index of harmony (GFI) equal to the probability p-value equal to 0.960. The modified harmony index measuring (AGFI) was equal to 0.930 and the index error in estimation parameters (RMSEA) was equal to 0.015. Moreover it was found that the variables were economic organization organization resources financial administration legal administration logistics and Halal food quality had positive effect on the ability to compete for exporting Halal food using Thailand - ASEAN logistics route. The research results suggested the entrepreneurs focus on environmental variables economic organization organization resources financial administration legal administration logistics and Halal food quality which could lead to advantageous for the competition exporting Halal food using Thailand - ASEAN logistics route.

The research on the process of supply chain management standard goods distribution and marketing of the meat processing industry in Thailand to support the ASEAN Economic Community was aimed (1) the process of supply chain management standards goods distribution and marketing of the meat processing industry in Thailand to support the ASEAN Economic Community and (2) to determine the consistency of a causal model that influenced the process of supply chain management standards goods distribution and marketing of the meat processing industry in Thailand to support the ASEAN Economic Community with the empirical data. The variables used in this study were the independent variables including the availability and the readiness of the entrepreneurs. The mediator variables were the raw material transportation management and safety standard. The dependent variable was the supply chain management standard goods distribution and marketing of the meat processing industry in Thailand to support the ASEAN Economic Community. The researchers used a mixed method of qualitative and quantitative study. Questionnaires were used to collect empirical data from 350 entrepreneurs of the meat processing industry in Thailand. The statistical methods used to analyze data were the frequency percentage mean standard deviation and the analysis on the structural equation model and qualitative research methodology. The results revealed that the model was well consistent with the empirical data. The Chi – Square (2) value was 288.294 at the degrees of freedom (df) of 256 with the probability p-value equal to 0.081. The chi - square relative (2/df) was 1.127 with index of harmony (GFI) equal to 0.975 AGFI = 0.951 RMSEA = 0.017 The results showed that (1) the availability of resources had a positive influence on the transportation of raw materials (2) the availability of resources had a positive influence on safety standards (3) the entrepreneur readiness had a positive influence on the transportation of raw materials (4) the entrepreneur readiness had a positive influence on safety standards (5) the transportation of raw materials had a positive influence on safety standards (6) the transportation of raw materials had a positive influence on the supply chain management distribution and marketing and (7) safety standards had a positive influence on the supply chain management distribution and marketing of halal meat processing industry in Thailand to support the ASEAN Economic Community. The findings suggested that the meat processing industry should focus on the supply chain management distribution and marketing by promoting personnel deeper understanding to develop halal food. The government should also support the halal food industry as well

Presently the rail transit system plays a major role in the commercial world that they currently use diesel engine not only causing to a lot of fuel consumption but also generating numerously pollution. Therefore this project aims to study the break-even point of investment under comparison of brake specific fuel consumption and pollution of locomotive engines. By experimental works there are 3 types of locomotive engine: Pielstick M.T.U. and Caterpillar which are the difference of the combustion chamber and the fuel injection systems. The simulation load on the static tests (Dynamometer) was used following the regulation characteristic curve which is standard of State Railway of Thailand. As a result of testing the engine using common rail type of fuel injection system M.T.U. was the lowest brake specific fuel consumption at all of engine by the average of all engine speed 206 g/kW-h of brake specific fuel consumption. It is lower than Caterpillar (Semi common rail with direct injection) which is 314 g/kW-h equivalent 34.39 % while Pielstick engine a mechanism fuel injection system is 389 g/kW-h equivalent 47.04 % For pollution area there are Hydrocarbon (HC) Nitrogen Oxide (NOX) and black smut. The engine with direct injection system relieved the previous substance less than the pre-combustion engine. Moreover the compound of carbon monoxide (CO) was found that the pre-combustion engine (Pielstick) discharged carbon monoxide (CO) less than the direct injection engine (Caterpillar) whereas the common rail engine emancipated same substan cenear by with the pre-combustion engine (Pielstick). However the new technology of the engines is high maintenance costs. Therefore a number of applications have to be needed to make a quantitative value for the investment.
