Thanaleng Dry Port
Thanaleng Dry Port (TDP, also known as Thanaleng International Border Checkpoint – Cargo Terminal) is a multimodal logistics facility located in Vientiane Prefecture, Laos. Situated approximately 1 kilometre from the Thai–Lao Friendship Bridge over the Mekong River.
The railway gauge in Thailand (1000 mm) is different from those of Laos and China (1435 mm), so cargo both countries must be transshipped at the dry port.
It is one of nine dry ports of "international importance" designated under the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the PacificIntergovernmental Agreement on Dry Ports.
