What about the final curtain ? Hand washed atau machine ?
Don't think the democrats will want to torpedo a project that will bring much economic vibrancy and benefits to the southwhich has always been their traditional vote bank.
In any case the consortium wouldn't be there without the blessing of Thai govt.
This has been talked about for years, and it will be talked again for years....The guy who started this thread cant even read a map. Which part of China is in the Kra Isthmus? Which part of the Kra belongs to China?
On paper, you can just cut the land, who doesnt know that? In reality, it is not feasible or sustainable. Is there deep enough water? Are there good logistics inland to connect? Look at southern Thailand. Who are there? Do they have a population with the expertise to man a port and a whole supply chain? They will have to shift the capital there. A lot of chest thumping but not going to happen.
If it does, I cut my own isthmus.
lucky for you the Panama and Suez canals were already cut before you're born................otherwise you cut your own throat 2 times liao............
I said I will be cutting my prick, not my throat. But thats not going to happen.
Yawn..... until the day they sign the MOU and dredging works have started, only then will I believe that the Kra Canal is being built.We shall see whether it happens or not. Maybe in your lifetime, may not be in your lifetime. Depends on how old you are now.

It is not an easy task because economically, apart from the enormous costs involved, politically, the separation of Southern Thailand will make those Muslims there to be even more adamant to declaring independence for themselves, which the Thai Kingdom will never agree.
I think it cheaper to built ports on both sides of Kra and lay a pipeline to transport crude and gas. More environmental friendly too. Unless Thailand has a death wish, it don't benefit them politically at all to build the Kra canal as it will become a strategic chokepoint, attracting US, Nippon and Chinese navies into Thai waters. Both panama and Egypt become US puppets as a result of the canals. Will china throw $$ in a project that will see increase 7th fleet activity in the gulf of Thailand and south china sea?
This didn't help either.
Singapore is pragmatic.
If the Kra Canal is inevitable, Singapore will want a slice of the action. Port management is a forte of Singapore, for one. There are other areas it can participate in, buy up some equity in the venture for instance. Singapore will not take this lying down.
Of course the Chinese can and probably will fuck them up by denial of participation.

Costs too much for cargo and ship owners to pay for a) downtime waiting for ships to unload and b) pay for another ship to load c) must work doubly hard to get two ships instead of one. D) pay pipeline charges and pipes which might get contaminated if not properly done and the risk of contamination increases many fold. E) many other problem associated with this idea.
Might as well sail right through the canal.
US already using Thai naval facilities at satahip. Plus frequent war games both on land and offshore.

What contamination? Have you never heard how Gazprom pipes its gas all over Europe from gas field inside Russia?
The Canadians are at same time considering piping oil from Alberta to the eastern port of Montreal and the eastern seaboard of the U.S.
And contamination wont come from poor quality work from a Chinese consortia to cut the kra?
