At around 8.2 metres maximum draught, the Port of Bangkok (Khlong Toei) is firmly a river port on the Chao Phraya, which shapes its role as a feeder, coastal and regional facility rather than a mainline call. It handled roughly 1.26 million TEU in 2023, with a government cap historically holding throughput near one million TEU to ease the capital's road congestion and steer cargo toward Laem Chabang. The state quays of the Port Authority of Thailand process containers, conventional breakbulk and project cargo. Hinterland access runs through metropolitan Bangkok's road network, short in distance but prone to congestion. For deep-sea services and overseas FCL, Laem Chabang—about 9.46 million TEU in 2024 with depths up to 16 metres—is the stronger option. Bangkok nonetheless stays useful for inner-city distribution and smaller consignments close to the consumer market.
