    abstract = {This research presents the exploration of R8, R9 and R12. These international land routes connect
Thailand, Lao People’s Democratic Republic (PDR), the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam) and People’s
Republic of China (PRC). An objective of this research is to propose an assessment of different Northeast route
options. Data used in this research comprise of both primary and secondary data. Primary data included the
route surveys and a semi–structured interview with respondents. Secondary data were preliminarily retrieved
from academic documents and reports. A cost/time–distance methodology was employed to represent graphical
logistics data. It was found that R9 route is the official route to trade fruits between Thailand and PRC. Chinese
custom duty is waived, according to the fruit transport protocal but the entrepreneur must make a value–added
tax payments. However, R12 route is chosen as the main route for Thai fruits distribution based on time, cost
and distance.}
