Chumphon Land Bridge

​

The proposed 1-trillion-baht land bridge mega-project in southern Thailand would help improve the country’s competitiveness and energy security, in addition to offering a new transport route in this part of the world, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin said on Thursday.

He said the proposed land bridge connecting the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea could help ease the growing traffic in the Strait of Malacca, which is dealing with 60% of the world’s petrol transport by sea.
