A ‘Land Bridge’ Across Thailand’s Kra Isthmus। In Focus । Drishti IAS English

On a map, Thailand looks like a plume of smoke rising from the sea into the East Asian landmass, with Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia wrapped around its head. The tail of the plume is sandwiched between the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand - a long, narrow peninsula that forces ships on east-west voyages to sail south all the way to Singapore at its tip, adding 1,200 km to the journey.

Good lecture! love this.

[@RAGHU11THMILE]

Geopolitical move by the PRC(99% benefits) to bypass the Malacca straight (Malacca dilemma).

[@1stPrinciples455]

The route is 50% shorter if a straight line cuts between the isthmus of Thailand and Myanmar. But Thai is bypassing Myanmar doubling the length to be built. If co developed , this project can tie the 2 countries economically for the long term ensuring prosperity and peace. But this is clearly impossible
