The Ministry of Transport (MOT), Thai: กระทรวงคมนาคม rtgs: Krasuang Khamanakhom) is the ministry of the Government of Thailand responsible for the development, construction, and regulation of the nation's land, marine, and air transportation systems.
The Ministry of Transport per se did not come into existence until 2002, when the Reorganisation of Ministries, Government Agencies and Departments, 2002 Act came into force. It stipulated that the Ministry of Transport (the former Ministry of Communications) would have overall responsibility for transportation, transportation–related businesses, traffic planning, and transport infrastructure development.
The MOT is composed of ministry departments and profit-making state enterprises.
