The project is able to create the economical transportation and shorten the length of maritime shipment. The researcher presented and explained through the analysis and the explanation of “threat” from the formation of the modern Thai Canal policy.
The Thai Canal 9A Route policy was based on the Senate’s proposal, which was unanimously agreed on June 24, 2005, to dig the Thai Canal 9A Route. It will be able to create transportation system for peace between the Indian Ocean, through the Thai sea, and towards the Chinese-Japanese seas. It will be feasible by economic cooperation through joint investment among the 4 powerful countries. The management will be done through the joint investment from the 4 leaders of the powerful countries on “Thai Fund for the Thai Canal 9A Route”, which consists of alliances such as the US Fund for Thai Canal 9A Route, the Indian Fund for the Thai Canal 9A Route, the ASEAN Wealth Fund for the Thai Canal 9A Route, and the China Maritime Silk Road Fund for the Canal 9A Route.
