BANGKOK: -- Thailand and Burma has a greed to build a land link to connect deep sea ports of the two neighbouring countries, Prime Minister Samak Sundarave said yesterday.
Samak said his visit to Burma Friday was successful and the two countries agreed to build a land link for their deep sea ports.
Samak said the land link will connect Thailand's Laem Chabang deep sea port with a deep sea port being constructed in Burma's Tavoy to facilitate shipping between the Indian and Pacific oceans.
The land link would be built through Kanchanaburi, Samak said.
