Transport Ministry plans to build Bt1-billion ferry ports

Transport Minister Prajin Juntong said that the prime locations are Laem Bali Hai in Pattaya and the Khuk Samet Pier in Chon Buri province.
The project will cost about Bt1 billion, Prajin said, and he will forward the project to the National Council for Peace and Order for approval.
The ports will have a railway connecting to Pattaya, and the capacity to handle a large influx of tourists.
ACM Prajin added that additional surveys will be conducted for another two suitable locations in the western coast at Cha-Am district of Phetchaburi province and Pranburi district of Prachuap Khiri Khan province.
Initially, the project is likely to be a public private partnership campaign.
