Kra canal in Thailand

 Here is a recent video about the Kra Canal project in Thailand.

The new government in Thailand is discussing with China about this project.

The cost of $25 billion USD may not be a key obstacle, as the canal may be viable and can be funded by international capital. |

The economic impact on Singapore could be serious. (This is more than I had expected earlier).

There is also a geopolitical dimension. Singapore is closely aligned with America, which station its naval base in Singapore. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXbAqaUdQds
