geovalin Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 The 900-billion-baht Thai Bridge project, aimed at building a new freight route from the East to the South, is expected to be discussed by the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) Policy Committee Sunday. Travelling or transporting cargo from southern China through Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam to Thailand where passengers and goods will be delivered onward via the Thai Bridge route to either Phetchaburi or Prachuap Khiri Khan and then on to seaports in Ranong on the Andaman coast will bypass the Malacca Strait, which will lower the transport costs and greatly benefit investments in Thailand. The much-touted project involves digging a tunnel from Chon Buri on the eastern coast to either Phetchaburi or Prachuap Khiri Khan, located on the other side of the Gulf of Thailand, as a new cargo transport route from the flagship EEC project to the South. The project has already won approval by the Centre for Economic Situation Administration (CESA). read more https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50769927/cambodia-to-benefit-from-east-south-thai-bridge-project-as-it-gains-momentum/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burma Bill Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) Quote:- The 900-billion-baht Thai Bridge project The much-touted project involves digging a tunnel Rather confusing - bridge or tunnel??? According to Thailand it will be a bridge. Perhaps a mix of both:- Edited October 6, 2020 by Burma Bill additional information 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
