B200bn Southern Corridor plan gets nod
The cabinet has approved in principle the Southern Economic Corridor (SEC), a scheme to link the Andaman Sea, the Gulf of Thailand and countries along the Indian Ocean rim.
The SEC is estimated to cost at least 200 billion baht, which will mostly be spent on transport links in four provinces, namely Chumphon, Ranong, Surat Thani and Nakhon Si Thammarat, according to Deputy Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak.
