 note = {This paper is an exploratory study aimed at evaluation of the cross-border transport and trade facilitation of Greater Mekong Subregion countries. It has been ratified under the Cross-border Transport Facilitation Agreement (CBTA) since 2003. Empirical results support our hypothesis that R12 is the new-different-better route relative to R9. The study focused on the R12 route that connects the borders of Thailand, Lao PDR and Vietnam. We have employed the Exploratory Data Analysis (DEA) to construct the Cross-Border Transport and Trade Facilitation Index(TTF). It comprises measurement indicators of border-crossing facilities, prior customs formality procedures, and transport facilities for a transit of goods and people as well as road condition. The primary data was collected from a non-participation observation via Visual Inspection Rating (VIR), field survey, and in-depth interviews. Empirical findings of this study would benefit GMS, verifying the progress of CBTA development framework after 15 years of ratification. The development of the route R12 will reduce the cost of trade among Mekong members and indirectly with the rest of the world., text, application/pdf},
