The corridor (EWEC) stretches 1,450km through Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and Myanmar.

A caravan tour along the EWEC is set to depart from the coastal city to Mukdahan province, Thailand.
The EWEC is an economic development program initiated in 1998 by the Ministerial Conference of Greater Sub-Mekong Region organized in Manila to promote development and integration of the four countries, namely: Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam.
The countries are working on completing a trans-national road along the corridor to connect with major cities like Yangon, Dawei, Chiang Mai, Bangkok via north-south roads like Laos’ Road 13 Vietnam’s National Highway 1A.
The development of the economic corridor aims to further strengthen economic cooperation and facilitate trade, investment and tourism between the four countries, while reducing transport costs.
