A revised transport network that connects China to western Thailand via a new deep-sea port in Ranong could serve as a more viable alternative to the Land Bridge project, which is considered less feasible, says a banker.
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul recently announced the government would review the Land Bridge project to ensure it represents good value for investment, and may initially focus on connecting the "missing links" between ports on the Andaman coast and the Gulf of Thailand, as well as other parts of the country to those ports.
