How much does land even cost in Bangladesh? By that, I mostly mean non-urban land. Asking for future investment purposes.

Local speculators snap up industrial land before the planning for industry even starts.

For example I can tell you that my extended family members own ancestral land in the Savar area, those parcels have skyrocketed ever since they started industrializing that area initially a decade ago.

More recently this has happened near Payra and Matarbari port areas where EPZs/SEZs are planned.

Pricing varies per location and demand. I am not in touch with this, you have to contact someone in Dhaka.

Looks like "Kalna bridge" is getting its shape.

I can still remember the car wreck we faced during our first site visit.

OK well 'Love Boat' it isn't for sure.

But we have the next best thing, a semi luxury cruise ship ('Karnaphuli' Venture - MV 'Bay One') from Cox's Bazaar to St. Martin's Island for the couple of hours it takes to get there. Take a gander, not bad.

Is there any luxury ships that we can rent to sail and stay some night in Sundarban water ? It will be quite exciting to sail a long the Sundarban coast thinking that wild tigers are living there where some tigers may also swim or appear on the coast areas that we could see while on the ship.

You can check on Indonesian Labuan Bajo luxury ship service to understand more about what I see as potential in Sundarban eco-tourism.

There are smaller two story boats which conduct eco-tours in the Sundarban rivers. If you google 'Sundarban Eco Tour' you will get lots of hits, some of them from Kolkata in India, some from Dhaka, Bangladesh.

I have not tried them but travel agencies in Dhaka or Jakarta can find out I'm sure.

In the meantime, I will try to find out some info, give me a few days.

Seems like a legit outfit. Make sure you ask around to make sure you are not parting your hard-earned money with scam outfits, caveat emptor!

Buying machines to produce 3+ layer single-sided motherboards (pick and place smt m/c and wave soldering m/c etc.) is good progress. And that too by more than one local company.

I am very stoked, this is better than our giant neighbor for sure. They only have one motherboard mfr. (Simmtronics) that I know of, and that too using VIA Taiwan's designs. They make DIMM and Micro SD cards, though not all of them in India (if at all).

Someone should edit the Wikipedia page, only Walton is listed. There should be at least three/four more entries.
