Rail project with China considered Standard-gauge line to tie region together


Rail project with China considered Standard-gauge line to tie region together

       

        The cabinet will hear a proposal next week to instruct a joint project between the Thai and Chinese governments to expand a new standard-gauge rail line from Nong Khai in the Northeast to the southern border with Malaysia. The Thai government earlier said it objective is to invest together with China in a high-speed rail line from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Rayong on the Eastern Seaboard using Pattaya and Laem Chabang and a standard-gauge link from Kunming, southern China which would run through Vietnam and Laos before reaching Nong Khai. The standard-gauge line would furthermore connect with Malaysia and eventually Singapore. The segment between Nong Khai and the Malaysian border has been estimated about 300 billion baht. However, the two sides have not yet initiate the details of how the united venture would be established, how much investment capital would be needed or the risk that each country would hold in the project. If it is approved in principle, it would then be forwarded to parliament for approval as required by Article 190 of the Constitution.

 

....In my opinion, this project seems to be a good idea to me because expanding the rail line is great for the future economic. So people, exporting and shifting can be done more easily and at the lower cost. They said that the line will eventually reach Malaysia and Singapore, so our people can visits or take a trip there without using the plane, for the ones who can’t afford the plane’s price. The lower class might be very happy for this plan to happen. But they still don’t know the risk of the project so we have to wait.
