The National Peace and Order Maintaining Council (NPOMC) of Thailand has approved the projects of building two high speed railways connecting Thailand and China with the total building cost at 741.4 billion Thai baht (approx. RMB 143 billion). Permanent secretary of Thai Ministry of Transportation said these two railways will greatly improve the domestic shipping capability of Thailand and connect cities at the border to the inner major cities including the capital Bangkok, several sea ports, airports, and important delivery hubs together.

As a part of the 8-year (2015-2022) plan of Thailand for the infrastructure, these two projects will be initiated next year and are expected to finish by 2021. One official from the Thai government said that both the railways are also part of the plan of China to connect its transport system with those of Southeastern Asian countries together. The new railways will help connect the provinces in Southern China with countries in Southeastern Asia through Thailand as well as assist China in gaining much more influence in the region of Southeast Asia.
