China and ASEAN seek win-win cooperation and set the most successful example of Asia-Pacific regional cooperation. The China-Thailand Railway is a major cooperation project of mutual benefit and win-win between China and Thailand, which will effectively promote the construction of infrastructure and economic and social development in Thailand. The development of Thailand's railway transportation system is the top priority of the government's 20-year strategic plan. The China-Thailand high-speed rail project will vigorously promote Thailand's establishment as a regional logistics center in Southeast Asia, and help the central line of the Trans-Asian Railway to be fully connected.

In recent years, Thailand has launched a number of new railway development projects, including the electric train project in Bangkok and surrounding provinces, the China-Thailand high-speed railway project, and the three-airport high-speed railway connecting Don Muang Airport, Suvarnabhumi Airport and U-Tapao Airport. project.

To improve the development of rail transport in Thailand, the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) aims to build high-speed rail projects in the north, east, northeast and south. The China-Thailand high-speed railway starts from Bangkok, Thailand in the south, and connects with the China-Laos Railway in the north to the border of Thailand and Laos, forming a large channel directly to Kunming.

According to the National Railway of Thailand, the total distance of the Thailand high-speed rail project is about 2,700 kilometers, of which 1,207 kilometers have already started the first phase of construction. "This high-speed rail network will not only connect parts of Thailand, but will also form ASEAN's railway network."

The China-Thailand high-speed rail project is a highlight of the country's railway transportation construction. The section of the China-Thailand Railway in Thailand is divided into two phases, north and south. The southern part of the first phase is from the capital Bangkok to the northeastern city of Nakhon Ratchasima, with a total length of about 250 kilometers and 6 stations. It is estimated that it will be registered in 2026.

China's "Fuxing" CR300 high-speed rail trains will operate on this line, with eight carriages per train and a total of 594 seats - 96 first-class and 498 standard. The operating time is from 6:00 in the morning to 12:00 in the evening, each train is 90 minutes away, and the whole running time is one and a half hours.

The second phase of the China-Thailand high-speed railway project, from Nakhon Ratchasima to Nong Khai, will connect the China-Thailand high-speed railway with the China-Laos high-speed railway, and will eventually connect with Kunming, China.

"When the high-speed rail projects are completed and integrated, they will become a huge rail network for passengers and goods, linking China, Malaysia, Laos and Thailand," said the State Railway of Thailand. Edited by Xu Shengpeng
