Thai future?

Thailand is working on plans for the southern landbridge project. This huge project has faced delays due in part to finance issues as it is expected to cost some US$21.1 billion. The project would include a 30km road link connecting Songkhla and Satun provinces. The aim is to provide a land connection linking the Andaman Sea to the Gulf of Thailand and it would also include an oil pipeline, an oil refinery and a petrochemical complex. Investors from Abu Dhabi, Japan and Kuwait are encouraging the Thai Government to proceed with the project.
