The investment group is conducting a "feasibility study" for the construction of a land bridge that will link the nation's southern provinces with the north, Bin Sulayem said today in Bangkok at a seminar hosted by former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. The study, expected to be completed in four to eight weeks, will be submitted to the government, he said.

"We are very interested in the market in Thailand," Bin Sulayem said. "We are watching the growth and how the leadership is committed to developing the infrastructure. The land bridge will create jobs in three provinces in the south and create stability."
