Burma Bill Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 1 hour ago, malibukid said: what happen to the high speed rail plan? This plan is still progressing and under construction using "standard" gauge that will link Bangkok and Korat (Issan). Much of the existing "narrow" gauge system is being doubled to eliminate many of the passing loops so that trains can run to a faster timetable. For example here in Khon Kaen, which includes a new station:- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can assure you that once the trains get away from BKK and well into Issan , beyond Korat , they go very fast , though they probably shouldn't given the condition of the tracks .
