Inspire of the proven success of LR in three countries iii the Asian Region, namely Japan, Reptilic of Korea and Tai wan, it has not been used in Thailand. However, the Department of Town and Country Planning has proposed that the LR technique be used to implement the planned new town at Laem Chabang as part of the Eastern Seaboard Project .
