Summary: The Isthmus of Kra, which acts as a land bridge that connects the Malay Peninsula with the rest of continental Southeast Asia has been at the centre of two connectivity networks. The first is a canal cutting across the isthmus, thereby connecting the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. The second is the Singapore-Kunming Rail Line (SKRL), which is aimed at providing rail connectivity within the continental part of Southeast Asia, with Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province of China. Both these connectivity networks have been in the pipeline for many years. This paper analyses the progress that has been made in both these networks and the implication of the same on the region. The paper also examines the implications of these two connectivity networks in the context of the larger Indo-Pacific Region (IPR). Of note here is the potentiality of both these two communication networks increasing the level of economic and people to people contact, which in turn would be reflected on the influence of China upon the nations of Southeast Asian.

The Isthmus of Kra, which acts as a land bridge that connects the Malay Peninsula with the rest of continental Southeast
Asia has been at the centre of two connectivity networks. The first is a canal cutting across the isthmus, thereby connecting
the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. The second is the Singapore-Kunming Rail Line (SKRL), which is aimed at providing rail connectivity within the continental part of Southeast Asia, with Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province of China. Both these
connectivity networks have been in the pipeline for many years. This paper analyses the progress that has been made in both these networks and the implication of the same on the region. The paper also examines the implications of these two connectivity networks in the context of the larger Indo-Pacific Region (IPR). Of note here is the potentiality of both these two communication networks increasing the level of economic and people to people contact, which in turn would be reflected on the influence of China upon the nations of Southeast Asian.
