Thailand’s Board of Investment (BOI) promotion scheme opens the door for foreign companies to operate warehouses and logistics facilities in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) with substantial tax and ownership privileges. KT Thai Property offers BOI-eligible warehouse units on Bangna-Trad Road KM.42 — fully built, ready to rent, and strategically positioned for EEC logistics operations.

What Is BOI Promotion for Warehouses in Thailand?

The Board of Investment of Thailand (BOI) is a government agency under the Office of the Prime Minister that grants investment privileges to qualifying businesses. For warehouse and logistics operators, BOI promotion under Activity Category 7.1 (Logistics and Distribution Centres) provides a package of incentives designed to attract both Thai and foreign enterprises to establish operations in strategic economic zones including the EEC provinces of Chonburi, Rayong, and Chachoengsao.

Key BOI Benefits for Warehouse Operators

Companies renting a BOI-promoted warehouse in Thailand’s EEC can qualify for one or more of the following privileges depending on activity category and location:

  • Corporate income tax exemption for up to 8 years — one of the most valuable incentives for international businesses setting up regional distribution hubs.
  • 100% foreign ownership permitted — overseas companies can hold full equity in the Thai operating entity without requiring a local Thai partner.
  • Import duty exemption on machinery — capital equipment imported for the approved activity is exempt from customs duties.
  • Import duty reduction on raw materials — up to 90% reduction on materials used in production or processing within the facility.
  • Permission to bring in foreign skilled workers and experts — simplified visa and work permit processes for key personnel.
  • Land ownership rights — promoted companies may own land for operations, which is otherwise restricted for foreigners under Thai law.

Eligible Industries for EEC BOI Warehouses

A wide range of industries can qualify for BOI promotion when operating from an EEC warehouse. Sectors with active BOI-promoted tenants at KT Thai Property’s Bangna-Trad corridor include automotive parts and components, electronics and electrical equipment, food processing and cold-chain logistics, medical devices and pharmaceutical distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and last-mile logistics, and general import/export trading companies. If your sector is not listed, BOI promotion may still be available — contact us to discuss your eligibility.

Why the EEC Location Matters for BOI

Facilities located within the three EEC provinces automatically qualify for enhanced BOI privilege packages compared to operations outside special economic zones. KT Thai Property’s warehouse complex sits on Bangna-Trad Road KM.42 in Chachoengsao province — inside the EEC boundary — giving tenants access to the maximum tier of BOI benefits. The location is 37 km from Suvarnabhumi International Airport, 60 km from Laem Chabang Port (Thailand’s largest), and directly connected to Bangkok’s eastern industrial corridor via Highway 34.

Available BOI-Eligible Units at KT Thai Property

KT Thai Property offers three ready-to-rent warehouse units suitable for BOI-promoted operations:

  • Unit 669 sqm — ideal for SME distributors and e-commerce fulfilment operators requiring a compact but fully serviced facility.
  • Unit 1,112 sqm — suited for mid-size logistics operators, automotive parts distribution, or cold-chain food businesses.
  • Unit 2,892 sqm — large-format facility for regional distribution hubs, manufacturing support warehouses, or multi-tenant logistics campuses.

All units feature reinforced concrete floors (load capacity 3–5 tonnes/sqm), 8–10 metre clear heights, dock-leveller loading bays, 24/7 security, and on-site office space. Lease terms are flexible from 1 year with renewal options.

How to Apply for BOI Promotion

Applying for BOI status is a straightforward process when working with an experienced property partner. KT Thai Property can connect you with our network of BOI-licensed consultants who handle the full application including project feasibility reports, activity classification, and government liaison. The typical BOI approval timeline is 40–60 business days from application submission. You can begin the lease process concurrently — BOI approval is not required before signing a lease agreement, and many tenants commence operations under a provisional BOI letter while the formal certificate is processed.
