Thailand's private sector council (comprised of three major business organizations) has praised the government's deregulation initiative, with 11 of 58 proposed secondary law improvements now ready for immediate implementation. Key wins include standardizing transit/transshipment rules across agencies (reducing red tape and speeding cargo movement at ports/airports) and raising truck height limits for 40-foot High Cube containers from 4.2m to 4.6m to match global standards. Both moves aim to cut costs, reduce administrative steps, and strengthen Thailand's regional logistics hub position. The council emphasizes that success should be measured by reduced costs and operational agility for businesses, not just by the number of laws changed.
