nachdem der grosse Touristenansturm von Chinesen nach Laos in den vergangenden 10 Monaten ausgeblieben ist,
ahnt man in Thailand, dass die Fertigstellung des Hochgeschwindigkeitprojektes nicht unbedingt die Verbesserung der chinesischen Nachfrage bedeutet,
also versucht man mit einer Visafreiheits-Offerte für Chinesen

das Ruder zu drehen,
doch allgegenwärtig ist die Angst vor dem grossen Immobilien-Finanz-Crash,
der erstmal jeden Reisebedarf zum Erliegen bringen würde.
Das Schreckgespenst,
die chinesische Immobilien-Firma Country Graden, und seine Unternehmungen in Thailand.

All dieser gesamte Hintergrund macht verständlich,
warum die Finanzierer des Hochgeschwindigkeitsprojektes das Projekt immer weiter verzögern.

Construction of the Thai-Chinese high-speed train between Bangkok and the north-eastern border province of Nong Khai is progressing satisfactorily, with the construction of the 250.77km section between Bangkok and Nakhon Ratchasima province already almost 40% complete.
For the second section, between Nakhon Ratchasima and Nong Khai, State Railways of Thailand (SRT) has recently completed the study and design of the project and it is ready to be submitted to the cabinet for approval, according to Sorapong Paitoonphong, deputy permanent secretary of Transport Ministry, in his briefing to Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on Thursday during his field inspection of the project.
The Bangkok-Nakhon Ratchasima section comprises 181.9km of elevated rail track, 64km of ground-level track and a 6.4km tunnel. There will be six stations on this section, which are Bang Sue main terminal, Don Mueang, Ayutthaya, Saraburi, Pak Chong and Nakhon Ratchasima. The cost of this section is estimated at about 179.4 billion baht.
According to Surapong, the construction has encountered several problems, including delays in land expropriation, possible impacts on the world heritage site in Ayutthaya for the Ayutthaya station, a change in design from ground-level track to elevated track for certain contracts, requiring the adjustment of the environmental impact assessment study, and overlapping of civil work between this project and the high-speed train project connecting Don Mueang, Suvarnabhumi and U-Tapao airports.
The project is, however, still expected to be ready for public service in 2027.
