The results from the study found that border trade value of Thailand with Laos, Malaysia, and Cambodian had positive long-term equilibrium with economic development of Thailand and the results has a coefficient equal to 5.91x10-5, 1.66x10-5, 7.05x10-5 respectively. On the other hand trade values of Thailand had negative long-term equilibrium with Myanmar. It was coefficient as 4.68x10-6 The result of the change in border trade value of Thailand with Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, and Cambodian will be able to adjust to the long-run equilibrium with 0.0784 0.0614 0.0922 and 0.1813 respectively.
