It requires huge investment to dig the Kela Canal, so Thailand does not dig the Kela Canal. In Thailand, the Kela Canal is very long and it needs a lot of investment to dig this canal, so the Thai government is unable to bear the investment of digging the canal, so the plan of digging the canal has never been implemented. If the canal is dug, it may lead to the division of the country, so the Thai government will not dig this Kela Canal.
basically, digging a canal depends on collecting tolls, so it can be filled with pots and pans. Because once the canal in Thailand is dug, the trade distance of our country will be shortened by more than 1,211 kilometers, so we don't have to go to Malacca, which is controlled by the West. However, Thailand has such good conditions, but it has been suppressed for half a century. Up to now, no leader or prime minister in the whole country dares to let go and dig the Kela Canal. Although Thailand is dominated by the Thai people, there are still ethnic minorities and other religious groups. The Islamic Muslim ethnic group in the south has always been a heart disease in Thailand.
The culture and religion here are different from those in the mainland. Therefore, Muslims are also dissatisfied with Thailand. In peacetime, they continue to make troubles, seeking independence and establishing the Islamic State. Once the Kela Canal is completed, the southern Muslim areas will be separated from the mainland of Thailand, which will further cut off the connection. Therefore, Thailand is afraid that it will lose its land and make money, which is not worth the loss.
Many western countries will obstruct the Thai government from digging canals in various forms. If the canal is successfully dug, the Thai government will make a profit, while the interests of western countries will be damaged, so it will hinder the Thai government from digging canals. On the other hand, digging canals requires a lot of investment, so Thailand will not dig canals.
