I dont understand how this motorway (presumably a toll way) can help distribute wealth throughout the region. The Asian Friendship Highway built originally by the Americans in the 60s to help against the fight of communism in the northeast as well as easing the movement of war materiel to Laos has already been expanded to be a separated highway of 4 to 6 lane width. Building more capacity will benefit the resource extracting industry (e.g. cement) in Saraburi to some extent, but the main manufacturing plants in Korat service the Eastern Seaboard car manufacturing industry. Can anyone enlighten how wealth (is this Bangkok wealth?) can be distributed to Korat by this motorway mega infrastructure?
