🇹🇭 Thailand’s Land Bridge aims to bypass Strait of Malacca and cut security risks
Thailand is pushing its Land Bridge project amid tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and new toll proposals in the Strait of Malacca.
What is the Land Bridge?
🟠The Thai government proposes linking the Indian and Pacific Oceans across the country’s narrow southern peninsula, bypassing the congested Malacca Strait chokepoint
🟠The $30 billion project has been floated by previous administrations, but lacked backing. Renewed risks around the Strait of Hormuz have pushed the current government to seek investors
The plan includes:
▪️ Two deep-sea ports: One in Ranong (Andaman Sea) and one in Chumphon (Gulf of Thailand)
▪️ A 90 km highway and high-speed rail link
▪️ Energy infrastructure, including oil storage depots and a pipeline connecting the ports
▪️ The project could cut shipping times by about four days and reduce costs by roughly 15%
