Chonburi is the anchor province of the Eastern Economic Corridor, home to Laem Chabang, Thailand's largest deep-sea port, and long-established IEAT estates including Amata City Chonburi and the Sriracha/Bo Win manufacturing cluster. Builds on our national industrial & warehouse overview. General information only, never paid placement.
← Industrial & Warehouse Space in Thailand
Chonburi is the EEC's most established industrial base — Laem Chabang handles the bulk of Thailand's containerized export cargo, Amata City Chonburi anchors decades of automotive, auto-parts and electronics manufacturing, and smaller estates around Sriracha and Bo Win fill out the corridor. Grade A warehouse and factory space leases per-sqm/month and generally prices at a premium to neighboring Rayong and Chachoengsao given the maturity of the infrastructure; foreign-owned companies with BOI-promoted activity inside a licensed estate can generally hold freehold land title.
All of this sits within the broader Eastern Economic Corridor (Chonburi, Rayong, Chachoengsao) — Chonburi is the corridor's most mature and densely developed industrial province, with Pattaya functioning as the corridor's main residential and hospitality hub. See our Pattaya industrial deep dive for the U-Tapao air-logistics angle on the same corridor.
Of the three EEC provinces, Chonburi has the longest track record: Amata City Chonburi and the surrounding estates have hosted automotive and electronics manufacturing for decades, giving tenants a deeper pool of skilled labor, established supplier networks and mature utility infrastructure than newer estates further into Rayong or Chachoengsao. Direct proximity to Laem Chabang — rather than trucking finished goods a longer distance to port — is the other structural advantage, particularly for export-heavy manufacturers. That maturity comes with a trade-off: available land inside the best-located Chonburi estates is scarcer and generally priced higher than comparable space in Rayong, which is why some newer, larger-footprint projects increasingly evaluate both provinces side by side.
As a general pattern rather than a live quote: Grade A ready-built and build-to-suit space inside Amata City Chonburi and the Laem Chabang Industrial Estate has historically sat toward the upper end of the Eastern Seaboard rent range, given established infrastructure, port proximity and estate service quality, with smaller or unlicensed stock along the Sriracha-Bo Win corridor priced lower. Rent is quoted per square metre per month, with estate common-area or service charges typically billed separately — always confirm whether a quoted figure is net or all-in before comparing sites. Deposit plus advance rent at signing is standard practice, consistent with office and retail leasing norms elsewhere in Thailand. These are directional patterns, not current figures — for actual rent quotes and availability, work from a licensed commercial or industrial agent's latest Eastern Seaboard market report.
Standalone industrial or commercial land in Chonburi outside a licensed estate generally falls under the standard restriction on foreign land ownership, meaning a foreign-owned company typically needs a long-term lease or a Thai-majority corporate structure to occupy it directly. Amata City Chonburi, the Laem Chabang Industrial Estate and the smaller Sriracha/Bo Win/Panthong estates serve the province specifically — inside a licensed estate, a foreign-owned company operating a BOI-promoted activity can generally hold freehold title to the land it occupies under the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand Act, sidestepping the general restriction. Eligibility depends on the specific activity and incentive tier, so confirm current criteria directly with the Board of Investment and have a Thai-qualified lawyer review the estate license agreement or lease before signing. Full detail on IEAT estates, Free Zone status and BOI incentive tiers is covered on the national industrial overview.
