Abstract
This study is intended (1) to study the factor structure of the selection of suitable warehouse site
along the R3A, (2) to evaluate the weightings of the factors in the selection of suitable warehouse site by
means of the Analytic Hierarchy Process, and (3) to determine a suitable warehouse site along the R3A
between Bokeo Province and Luang Namtha Province, Lao People's Democratic Republic, by means of
the Analytic Hierarchy Process. The researchers have chosen 18 factors from 7 researches on warehouse

site selection and put the 18 factors through the process of calculating the index of item-objective
congruence by interviewing experts. As a result, only 16 factors remained to be analysed by the Analytic
Hierarchy Process. Via the AHP, the weightings of each factor in the determination of the most suitable
warehouse location has been assessed; the factor group of costs weighed the highest at 40.35%, followed
by the marketing group at 21.68%, being the second, and the labour group at 14.76%, being the third.
Furthermore, the factor groups of environment and infrastructure weighed at 12.68% and 10.53%, ranked
the fourth and the fifth highest respectively. As for the experts conclusion on selecting the location, the
warehouse site suitability of Bokeo Province was topmost determined at 54.90%, while the Luang Namtha
Province was assessed at 44.69%
