    THP a world where Thailand had agreed to the construction of the Kra Canal

    The Kra Canal is a proposed artificial waterway across Thailand’s Kra Isthmus connecting the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. If constructed, it would provide ships travelling between the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea an alternative to the Strait of Malacca, one of the world’s major maritime chokepoints, bordered by Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. The Strait of Malacca is the subject of wider strategic interest, particularly because of its importance to China’s trade and energy supplies and its strategic significance to the United States, India, and other regional powers in Asia. The canal has historically attracted interest from states and private actors because of its potential significance to maritime transportation and regional connectivity. At the same time, proposals have been subject to discussion within Thailand and the wider region, with concerns including the scale of investment, environmental effects, and political and security implications.
