Private participation in infrastructure has taken two distinct forms in the developing world. The first model, applied primarily in Latin America, focuses on privatization of existing infrastructure assets. The second, applied largely in East Asia, focuses on retaining existing assets in the public sector but seeking private sector involvement to augment capacity through new greenfield investments.

A finales de la década de los 90, la ciudad de Bangkok estaba perdiendo alrededor del 40 por ciento de la producción de agua. Para reducir pérdidas y satisfacer la demanda de la población en crecimiento, la Metropolitan Waterworks Authority (MWA) empleó a contratistas para reducir el agua no facturada (NRW) bajo contratos basados en el desempeño (PBC).

Legislation and Laws

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) were formally introduced into the Thai legal framework by Private Participation in State Undertakings Act BE 2535 (1992) (PPSU Act). In 2019 the Public-Private Partnership Act BE 2562 (2019) (New PPP Act) was enacted to replace the PPSU Act.

The New PPP Act in Thailand was passed by the National Legislative Assembly and became effective in March 2019.
