I guess it's putting a few baht in someone's back pocket by bringing the project back into the limelight again anyway geoffphuket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merijn Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I believe this was the third feasibility study in many years but off-course it only told that it was to expensive to build an tunnel. What a surprise I think that a few people made a lot of money again with proposing an feasibility study, and the tunnel ( or something similar ) will never be build.
