BANGKOK: The Thai-Chinese high-speed railway from Bangkok to Nong Khai is on track to open for public use in 2030, Transport Minister and Deputy PM Suriya Juangroongruangkit said after progress talks with Chinese authorities on Wednesday (May 8).
Officials had previously indicated the whole line would open as soon as 2028. However, the megaproject, estimated to cost 341 billion baht, has been plagued by delays caused by financing disputes between the two countries.
