The Governments of Thailand and Malaysia have signed a joint infrastructure agreement for projects along the 595km-long border region between the two countries. Some of the key projects under this are the Rantau Panjang–Sungai Golok Bridge, Pengkalan Kubor–Tak Bai Bridge, and the road alignment connecting the Bukit Kayu Hitam Immigration, Customs, Quarantine and Security (ICQS) Complex.
Plans have also been proposed for a new Thai-Malaysian friendship bridge on the Kolok River in Sungai Kolok District. The design of the bridge has not been finalised. The new bridge project is part of a wider programme called the Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle.
Negotiations on these projects had been previously delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
