The port occupies 2,572 acres (1,041 ha) and is capable of handling the largest (Post-Panamax) vessels.
Development of the port complex started in 1988 to encourage development outside Bangkok and take advantage of proximity to the Gulf of Thailand. The container port was completed in 1991. In 2014 it handled 6.58 million TEUs, making it the 22nd busiest container port in the world. Much of the international shipping reaching Thailand passes through Laem Chabang. It is a port of call for Princess Cruises and Celebrity Cruises.
Laem Chabang also has world class golf courses, such as the Laem Chabang International Country Club designed by Jack Nicklaus.
Amazing Customer Service
Laurraine, as you can imagine when I woke up on October 29th 2011 and heard that all Quantas flights to Australia were cancelled I was a wreck and in a panic. The Quantas website was directing all its passengers to call there travel agent Hmm good thing I had a great one I could call at home given an emergency. Laurraine, your advice of not to worry and board my American Airlines flight to LA not only saved me around 600 dollars but assured that I would get to my brothers wedding on time. I just wanted to send you this note as you went above the call of duty by securing other routes and above all putting my mind at ease. Thanks again Ryan McElroy and Family
