On a rail- way network stretching over a total length of about 4500 km, numerous local trains share tracks with national and international long-distance trains, night trains and freight trains – an example of a small gauge being successfully used to realise great amounts of traffic. The train lines of Thailand traverse highly diverse areas and land- Model AD24C engine by Alstom in Nam Tok scapes: From flat plains around its capital Bangkok, to mountainous regions in the north and northwest, that are quite a challenge for railways to pass. Thailand is also known for its other specialities considering railway traffic, one particular instance being the line from Bangkok to Mae Khlong, which partly goes through a market, that has to be temporarily demounted, whenever a train is closing in, just to be put back up as soon as it passed. The train traffic has great relevance in Thailand, which is the reason for a lot of investment in its development and upkeep. The new Bang Sue Grand Station in Bangkok, to be opened in July 2021, will be the largest railway station in Southeast Asia. It will be a hub, not only for long distance trains, but also a network of local commuter lines that will use elevated, as well as an underground metro system. Another project is upgrading the bulk of the line from Bangkok to Malaysia from single to double track. To put it in a nutshell, there is a lot of development to be expected in the railway traffic of Thailand. Old Bangkok Central Station also known as Hua Lamphong © iRFP Seite 1 March 2021 FBS in Thailand Adding International Line Data and Timetables Providing FBS-Infrastructure Data The Burma Railway, also known as Death Railway was con- structed in 1943 on behalf of the Imperial Japanese Army Nam Tok with the workforce of civilian labourers and prisoners of war, many of which had to let their life in the process. It connected Thailand and Burma (today: Myanmar) for more than a year, before it was given up due to continuous bombing of its bridges by the allied forces, after 17 months of usage. Today the line ends in Nam Tok, close to a waterfall, that is a tourist attraction. River Kwai Bridge OpenStreetMap representation of the Burma Railway Implementing infrastructure data in FBS is a requirement for the construction of timetables afterwards. A possible source for that can be data extracted from the open-data-platform Open- StreetMap. The infrastructure data of the State Railway of Thailand, such as length of a line, stations, halts, gradient profile and curves can be straightforwardly imported to FBS. That way, a railway network can quickly and easily be modelled to be the basis of further timetable crea- tion. FBS-infrastructure data of the line from Nong Pladuk Junc- tion to Nam Tok.

  • The Largest Railway Station in Southeast Asia
    Thailand Puts Forward the Next Great Leap: The Largest Railway Station in Southeast Asia IF YOU LIVE IN BANGKOK, THERE IS A SLIM CHANCE THAT YOU WOULD MISS NOTICING THE EXTRAVAGANT BANG SUE GRAND STATION WHILE DRIVING ON THE SRI RAT EXPRESSWAY. IF YOU GET STUCK UP THERE IN A TRAFFIC JAM, WHICH IS COMMON IN THIS CITY, YOU COULD EVEN SPEND TIME TO CAREFULLY STUDY THE FUTURISTIC STRUCTURE FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES. Its function is explicitly hinted from its exterior that has a New York’s Grand Station-like vibe. The station is Thailand’s next mega infrastructure project which will not only help ease Bangkok’s infamous traffic congestion, but also support the country’s role as a regional transportation hub. It is positioned to strengthen Thailand’s railway system and its connections with the regional transportation network, hence enhancing economic growth. This grand station is on its way to becoming another top attraction in Bangkok – a new landmark with an external design inspired by Hua Lamphong Station but with a modern twist recognizable from miles away. If there is one word to describe the rationale of this project—it is mobility. Thailand has great ambitions to use its railway network to transport passengers and goods more effectively and more economically, particularly to lower its logistics cost which stands around 13.6% of GDP in 2018. Since the inception of the railway system in Thailand in 1893, this is probably the first bold move to upgrade the system at a mega scale. Bangsue Grand Station is just one piece of the whole jigsaw puzzle, albeit a major one.

    March 23, 2021 Thai Enquirer Summary Economic News The cabinet is scheduled to consider aid measures for small and medium-sized enterprises hit by the Covid-19 outbreak (SMEs) at today’s meeting. The cabinet is set to decide on measures to rehabilitate the ailing SMEs, especially the remaining 350 billion baht in soft loans aimed at helping smaller firms cope with the liquidity crunch, the implementation of an asset warehousing concept. As for the leftover 250 billion baht, the Bank of Thailand (BoT) has proposed to offer it in the form of low-interest loans to pass on to SMEs at 2 per cent interest. Other stimulus measures to spur domestic spending such as the proposed extension of the “Rao Tiew Duay Kan” (We Travel Together) tourism promotion campaign and the half-half co-payment scheme in the 3rd phase will not be forwarded to the cabinet meeting for consideration today. Central Bank Governor Sethaput Suthiwart-Narueput said he would update the progress of aid measures for SMEs today at 15.00 hrs on the BoT Facebook Live. Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha yesterday called a meeting of his economic ministers to discuss ideas on more economic measures to stimulate domestic spending and tourism in the latter half of the year. Gen Prayut met with Deputy Prime Minister and Energy Minister Supattanapong Punmeechaow, Finance Minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith and Bank of Thailand (BoT) Governor Sethaput Suthiwart-Narueput to brainstorm ideas on a number of issues including: 1) Measures to maintain and increase liquidity among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a soft loan and asset warehousing programmes.
