BANGKOK, Jan 31: Thailand has threatened to sink plans for a Chinese-developed dam planned for the Mekong River in neighboring Laos, in a rare rebuke that hints at a rising tide of dissension in an area where all three countries share South-East Asia's largest waterway, reports NIkkei Asia.
Thailand has raised objections to the US$2 billion Sanakham Dam since late last year, when government officials broke diplomatic protocol and made critical statements in the media against the project.
