泰國雄心勃勃的「陸橋計畫」，是一項旨在連結泰國灣與安達曼海的龐大工程，近日面臨重大挫折。
Thailand’s ambitious Land Bridge project, a massive effort to connect the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea, has faced a major setback.
二○二六年六月，監管機構下令針對該計畫於拉廊府與春蓬府擬建的深水港進行新的環境與健康影響評估（簡稱EHIA）。
In June 2026, regulators ordered new Environmental and Health Impact Assessment (EHIA) studies for the project's proposed deep-sea ports in Ranong and Chumphon.
審查委員會認為先前的報告內容不足，並指出其在海洋生物密度數據上有重大不準確，且對生態系統破壞存有疑慮。
The review committee concluded that previous reports were insufficient, citing significant inaccuracies regarding marine life density and concerns over ecosystem damage.
這項預算高達一兆泰銖的陸橋計畫，目標是打造一條長九十公里的高速公路、鐵路及港口走廊，以繞過擁堵的麻六甲海峽。
The Land Bridge, estimated to cost 1 trillion baht, intends to create a 90-kilometer corridor of highways, railways, and ports to bypass the congested Strait of Malacca.
儘管政府推動該計畫是為了將泰國定位為區域物流中心，批評人士卻認為此計畫在經濟上不可行。
While the government promotes this as a way to establish Thailand as a regional logistics hub, critics argue the project is economically unfeasible.
懷疑論者指出，貨物卸載與重裝的物流效率，可能反而不如直接海運。
Skeptics point out that the logistics of unloading and reloading cargo may be less efficient than direct maritime shipping.
此外，當地社區與環保人士對於珊瑚礁與紅樹林可能遭受的破壞深感擔憂。
Furthermore, local communities and environmentalists remain deeply concerned about the potential destruction of coral reefs and mangroves.
隨著高層委員會重新評估該計畫的總體可行性，近期的EHIA評估遭拒，凸顯了泰國經濟願景與技術及環境挑戰之現實間難以跨越的鴻溝。
As a high-level committee reviews the project’s overall viability, the recent EHIA rejection highlights the difficult gap between Thailand's economic dreams and the reality of technical and environmental challenges.
