This paper is a study of oil tank farm site selection in Thailand by using the Analytical Hierarchy Process. The objective of a case study is to find the proper site in the environment, economics and engineering at Saraburi, Lampang and Khonkaen. Processes of the study are started from studying the physical data, demand for oil surrounding area and investment for the location of each area. In the each area, there are different in term of rules, regulations and geography. Afterwards, design criteria is done for evaluation and experts to evaluate of each area for finding the appropriate of oil tank farm site. Analyze the quality factors and the quantity factors by using the Analytical Hierarchy Process for decision making the proper site selection. Result from the study, Oil tank in Saraburi will be located in Sao-Hai district, with the emphasis was 0.51. Oil tank in Lampang will be located in Sob-Prab district, with the emphasis was 0.428. Oil tank in Khonkaen will be located in Ban-Pai district, with the emphasis was 0.395.
