Thailand's Land Bridge Project Gains International Interest
Photo courtesy of Global Times Transport Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit has reaffirmed Thailand’s commitment to the ambitious Land Bridge megaproject, designed to connect the Gulf of Thailand with the Andaman Sea. This trillion-baht initiative is attracting significant interest from international players, particularly from China and the Middle East. Notably, Dubai Port World has expressed strong interest in participating in the bidding process. Unveiled on March 24, the project aims to enhance Thailand’s global economic competitiveness through improved maritime transport. The Office of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning (OTP) is currently drafting the Southern Special Economic Development Zone (SEC) Bill. Available for public inspection since March 21, the bill precedes a public hearing and seminar in Bangkok and Surat Thani scheduled for next month. Feedback from these sessions will inform the bill's review by the Ministry of Transport. The government plans to submit the SEC Bill to the Cabinet in May, with the aim of parliamentary approval later this year. Once approved, the bidding process is anticipated to begin next year. The project is set to follow a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, granting the private sector a 50-year concession to oversee development and management. Key components of the Land Bridge include modernising Chumphon Port into a deep-sea facility and upgrading Ranong Port into a significant freight container hub. This transformation is expected to bolster trade links under the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC) framework and enhance connections with Middle Eastern and African markets. The SEC Bill is crucial for establishing an agency tasked with development planning, land use management, and industrial zoning, facilitating the effective implementation of this significant infrastructure endeavour. With proactive international engagement and strategic planning, Thailand's Land Bridge project promises to redefine the nation's economic infrastructure landscape, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-03-25 -

Can Americans afford vacations anymore?
You don’t know what you are talking about. https://www.ssa.gov/oact/STATS/cpiw.html Jan 2021. 255.296 Jan 2025. 311.172 311.172 - 255.296 =55.876 55.876/311.172=0.2188. Or 21.88 percent. Which means under Joe Biden prices increased by 21.88%. Which means your purchasing power is reduced. One poster rebuttable was the market went up. So what? That does not change the fact that your purchasing power is down. Posting data from the fed does not change the fact that people’s purchasing power was reduced by 22% under Joe Biden. You need to stay in your swim lane. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/personalfinance/2024/06/20/americans-buying-power-shrinks-more-report/74141192007/ Over the past five years, 97% of occupation’s salaries have failed to keep up with inflation, said personal finance platform Moneywise, which analyzed data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the Federal Housing Agency (FIFA) and Redfin to find out how salaries have kept up. It found average salaries have fallen 8.2% as home prices rose an average of 56% -

US Social Security
You're eligible if you return to the USA and haven't dropped Part B. If that's the case, you have to wait for open season or whatever. I think you always have Part A. Or am I misunderstanding you? -

Toddler Hospitalised with Bone-Deep Dog Bite in Buriram
You 'see' ... thats an oxymoron in pretty much every post you submit... very rarely is there any evident of intellectual vision from the perspective of understanding anything. “you see” like you're about to drop wisdom, but what follows is a brain-dead tragic parade of stupidity - no insight, no grasp of anything, just the groping in the dark... you 'see'... quite the entertaining oxymoron given your posting history.
