Prime Minister Srettha's government decided in February 2024 to proceed with the 1 trillion baht (S$37 billion) project in Ranong, southern Thailand, after a government-backed feasibility study.
Srettha's vision for a "land bridge" is different from previous attempts to dig a canal through the isthmus of Kra in Southern Thailand.
This project involves constructing two new deep-sea ports on the eastern and western coasts of the isthmus, as well as highway and railway systems connecting the ports, resulting in a connection over land, reported The Bangkok Post.
It is expected to be completed by 2039, with the first phase likely to finish in 2030."
