Potassium is one of the three essential nutrients for crop growth. In 2020 the population of Asia reached 4.641 billion, accounting for 59.54% of the global population. Asia has long relied on importing potash fertilizer from Europe and the US. Thailand-Laos Mesozoic potash giant metallogenic belt has a predicted KCl prospect resource of more than 57 billion tons, of which Thailand's predicted KCl prospect resource is more than 43 billion tons. This article analyzes the Thailand's potash resource endowment, geography, infrastructure and other aspects, and believes that Thailand has the material condition for rapid development of a large potash base in Asia. With the in-depth development of the "Belt and Road", the promulgation of Thailand's new mineral law and the development of companies such as International Petroleum Corporation have shown the prospect for Thailand-Laos to establish a strategic potassium base in Asia. It is suggested that relevant countries and enterprises should plan to build a large-scale potash base in Thailand-Laos Asia as soon as possible, establish a large-scale potash base for Asia, and make contributions to the well-being of Asian people.
