Forgive my ignorance, but why build a bridge to Khanom? Donsak looks much closer.

I'll bet the ferry operators will love this... and there's no chance of any mafia involvement down there, is there! ????

Samui properties will jump

Will never be built; will be a lucrative activity for dozens of connected people; junior staffers will have fun playing with graphics programs to try to produce impressive proposals. Would like to see the version where a cruise ship can pass under the span, maybe it would include a viewing platform 130 meters up……they actually have a tunnel to handle that in the graphic above, driving into a 4km undersea tunnel in Thailand would be a truly scary prospect!
