Thailand $31 Billion Land Bridge Project

planned

A $31 billion infrastructure project in Thailand aiming to create a land bridge across the narrow southern tip of the country. The project involves constructing a roughly 90-kilometer-long combination of road, rail link, and energy infrastructure connecting two deep-sea ports in Ranong on the Andaman Sea and Chumphon on the Gulf of Thailand. This would provide a direct logistics link between the Indian and Pacific Oceans, allowing ships to bypass the Strait of Malacca and potentially transform Thailand into a logistics hub, boosting economic growth and developing the southern region.
