NSTregion Progress expected in clearing obstacles of Thailand's first HSR

With the first phase of the 873 km high speed railway expected to begin operating within four years, there are still some nagging issues yet to be sorted out especially those relating to cost, warranty and also after sales service.

According to the Bangkok Post, Transport Minister Saksayam Chidchob was optimistic about the negotiations, which has made a slow progress for about a year, as authorities cannot agree on cost and warranty issues. The Thai government also plans to seek loans from domestic sources and China, and an appropriate interest rate will be inevitably brought to the negotiating table for the RM32 billion project.

Once completed, it will link the capital and Nakhon Ratchasima, dubbed the Gate to the Northeast, with six stations along the line starting from Bang Sue central station to Don Muang, Ayutthaya, Saraburi, Pak Chong and Nakhon Ratchasima.
