Kra canal is not even canal but building up train line from east to west port

From unloading the goods, put into lorry/train and then continue putting back into ship on the other side , the savings not even worth it

The only reason why Thai is pushing ahead is to force gov land acquisition in the unstable southern thai region

i suspect another valid reason for kra 'canal' is to cater for vessels that exceed malaccamax. so they use kra (or ECRL) instead. transferring cargo might seems hassle, but if they transport oil or gas via pipeline, its not that hassling.
