Government units are organizations that provide convenience services to people and businesses that take part in business activities across country borders. Thailand and Malaysia’s trade makes up a large volume of the land import/export in Southeast Asia, and the main exports are electrical and electronic equipment. Economic value has steadily increased and declined in 2020 after the coronavirus disease spread across the world. This paper presents the issues with and guidelines for the development of the government units at the Thai cross-border trade checkpoint between Thailand and Malaysia. From the study found that Thai’s government units at the cross-border trade checkpoint have faced several problems such as a lack of equipment for inspectors. The fact is that officers are not given a job description, and the government should develop more of an infrastructure. The Thai government should prepare all facilities and provide training to gain more knowledge about relevant laws. In addition, it should set up one government unit/department for cross-border trade management with management authorities.
