Thailand builds high speed rail network

The proposed Bangkok - Nakhon Ratchasima route of the high speed rail in Thailand has a total distance of about 630 kilometers and is divided into 3 sections:

• 1st section: Baan Pachee – Nakhon Ratchasima with 3 train stations on a 169.5 km route

• 2nd section: Kangkoi – Chacherngsao with 2 train stations on a 105 km route

• 3rd section: Nakhon Ratchasima – Nong Kai with 4 train stations on a 355 km route

The project involves building a high-speed rail line equipped with dual rail track of standard gauges. The minimum design speed is 250 km/h. Upon completion, the rail system will lower goods transportation costs as well as boost tourism between Thailand and Laos.
