Thai P M Yingluck Satisfied With Japan Visit

Is Dawei now part of Thailand?

No. It's just a good location for Thailand to use.

Did the trip include a 12 hour visit to the Ginza? All those shops must have been irresistible.

Having lived in Tokyo and looking at the image accompanying the story, it looks like she's already there.

Dawei is about 400km south of Yangon, but only about 250km east of Bangkok. This would effectively become the western port of Thailand getting product to/from Europe while avoiding sending ships through Singapore.

In other words it would only be of use to Thailand and not Burma.

So in order for Burma to get an advantage from Dawei they would be looking to charge Thailand some fairly hefty fees, or whatever they would call them, for the privilege of use.

It would be big advantage not having to have shipping go round the bottom past Singapore but could the same thing not be achieved on Thailands Andaman coast coupled with an effective freight carrying rail link? See 2.2 billion.

They don't have a site deep enough for a deep water port
