Thailand Approves Rail Link

After years of negotiations, Thailand’s cabinet finally gave approval to construction of the first phase of a high-speed railway to the Laotian border in July. The approval followed the issuing of an executive order by the nation’s military government.

Phase one will be the 250-km line between Bangkok and Nakhon Ratchasima which is expected to cost USD5.2 billion and cover one-third of the distance.

The overall plan is to construct an 873-km rail line linking the planned Chinese route through Laos to Thailand’s eastern ports and industrial zones.

Thai firms are to be responsible for construction while China will be responsible for the railway technology, signal systems and technical training.
