(Mizzima) - The Thai cabinet is moving ahead with development projects intended to promote the link between the Dawei industrial zone in Burma, and the future growth of the western Thai province of Kanchanaburi, bordering neighbouring Burma.

Three border checkpoints – Three Pagodas, Baan Phunamron and Singkorn – should be designated permanent border checkpoints to facilitate freight transportation and tourism between the two countries, officials said.

The proposals include a Thai concessionaire in the Dawei deep-sea port. The cabinet is also considering Thai infrastructure development projects, including a 70-kilometre extension route to Baan Phunamron at the Thai–Burma border.
