Thailand’s ‘Landbridge’ will bring East and West closer together
Srettha Thavisin is the prime minister of Thailand.
My inaugural visit to Tokyo as Thailand’s prime minister is happily coinciding with the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of ASEAN’s enduring ties with Japan.
This marks a pivotal juncture to present a compelling investment opportunity. Thailand’s Landbridge mega infrastructure project is an endeavor toward establishing seamless connectivity to augment long-term growth prospects in the region and is fully aligned with my government’s proactive economic diplomacy.
The project will encompass the building of deep-sea ports at Ranong on Thailand’s Andaman coast and at Chumphon on the Gulf of Thailand. Situated roughly 90 kilometers apart, the two ports will operate under a “one port, two sides” concept, supported by a freeway and dual-track railway lines to connect the ports with each other and with the country’s national network.
