China finally wins Thailand railway project

[Place Of Space]

Good Choice, Thailand !
You did a Good Job

Hope Indonesia also make a Good Choice, follow The Thailand Way.

In the future, I guess they will consider to build an undersea tunnel connecting Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.

中泰铁路项目拿下3年后通车 拟签政府间框架协议
朱锡均表示，中泰计划3年内完成铁路建设，中泰铁路合作将给泰国经济社会发展带来实惠。中泰铁路建成运营之后，将极大方便人们出行，从昆明到曼谷的往返铁路票价约每人3600泰铢（约合700元人民币），相当于飞机票价的一半或三分之一，货运费用相当于航空费用的九分之一。每年或将为泰国增加200万中国游客，为泰国农产品出口进一步提供便利，使泰国成为东盟的交通枢纽。


The Round-trip railway fare is about ￥700. Very cheap.

ok, the price makes sense if it is round-trip.

 

[Viet]

Of course not. Viets are still a primitive society. No need for high speed rail.

primitive?

 

[CHN Bamboo]

glad to see that.
And according to someone's words,I hope it wont change!!
Then,thank u Thailand

 

[AViet]

primitive?

In this forum, all countries have stupid and radical members. Just ignore him.

i'd rather it to be undersea tunnel from Indonesia to East Asia than ASEAN. there will be refugee crisis soon in some ASEAN countries and we don't want them in our country

Got a bout a trillion dollars to spare? I do see Indonesia connected to the mainland of Asia though. Good to see Indonesia wants to be connected and doesn't have irrational fears or hubris.

There was a plan of connecting VN and China with railway.
From Kunming to Ho chi minh.
Yet later it was cancelled. maybe due to CN-VN relationship but more like VN has no money to investment

Will it go through Vietnam? Can anyone clarify?

Right
Current situation may be a trouble for the project
But anyway this project will bring huge money to both side of the country.
Also majority of Thai people will benefit from Chinese tourist and agriculture products demands.
So I think the problem will be less as it benefits many people.

However I always say do not beleive anything government say until the contact signed. Until then, anything may change. Even contact signed, no thing guarantee. This is how things proceed in Thailand. 0m English, Siamese means 2 heads. And you are listening to Siamese toung.

Vietnam will be connected sooner or later. Vietnamese might sound like anti-Chin, and this island crap will blow over, but who the hell doesn't want to be connected to it's biggest trading partner, and to Asian integration in general?

Indonesia has rejected the idea to link us with South East Asia main land using road from Singapore into Sumatra island.

I hope that someday more and more closer economy ties would decrease difference and disputies Among China,Vientnam and Tailand.

the people in China, Tailand and Vientmam can live in one political unit such like EU ....

after Tailand highspeed railway is finished, Chinese people can visit Tailand as conviently as they visit neighbour provinces.

May be depend on ur gov?
I hope so Then,Chinese can easily go to Vietnam~

WOW!!
It is a good imagine!

I don't think reject is the right word. Postponed would describe the decision better. Indonesia need all the fund and effort to better link all the islands together. We are focusing our strength to develop highway and train network on the 5 big islands plus developing sea highway strategy by building deep sea ports all over Indonesia.

Indonesia as a whole should first better integrate the economy and the infrastructure development with Java before thinking to open up more with her ASEAN neighbors.

And the nature of this postponement is of course... indefinite

Currently, there are two railways connected China and Vietnam.
One is via Nanning, 1435mm, or standard gauge. There is daily train from Hanoi to Nanning via Dong Dang and Pengxiang border cities. Chinese train (except locomotive) can be seen in Gia Lam station any day.

One is via Lao Cai and Hekou. The train (1000mm gauge) run daily from Hanoi to Lao Cai city and from there, passengers have to walk to cross the border to Hekou on the other side and board a standard gauge train to go to Kunming.(the new Hekou Bei station now replaces the old Shanyao station, which connected with Lao Cai station)

However, I hope a double track, standard gauge railways from Hekou/Lao Cai to Hanoi (roughly 300 km) can be materialized soon, as agreed during visit of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong to China early this year.
