All provinces (changwats) are connected to this network and most long-distance (inter-province) traffic uses these roads.

  • Catering on State Railway of Thailand (SRT) Trains Pensri Kalyanamitra
    Onboard Services Catering on State Railway of Thailand (SRT) Trains Pensri Kalyanamitra SRT Background southern line opened later on 19 June 1903. The northern line was originally built to standard gauge (1435 mm), but it The Royal State Railways of Siam (RSR) was established in was decided to standardize on meter gauge in September 1895 under the Ministry of Public Works. Construction of the 1919 and the northern line was re-gauged over the next first line between Bangkok and Nakornratchasima started in 10 years to link with the neighbouring countries of today’s 1891 and the first service was run from Bangkok to Ayutthaya Malaysia, Cambodia, and Myanmar. On 1 July 1951, on 26 March 1896. The Thonburi–Phetchaburi section of the RSR changed its name to the present State Railway of Thailand (SRT). During SRT’s long history, it has passed through many modernization phases to improve the organization but although SRT and other authorities are working closely on railway reconstruction plans, there have been few changes in the SRT administration due to internal and external factors. Currently, the government has provisionally approved an investment of about 180 billion baht (US$5.8 billion) in SRT to develop rail by upgrading the existing infrastructure; these plans include the Track and Bridge Rehabilitation Project, Track Doubling Project, Electric Diesel Locomotive Purchasing Project, Installing Signalling and Level Crossing Project, etc. In addition, SRT has implemented a Restructuring Plan by establishing three business units: Traffic, Property, and Rolling Stock Maintenance, as well as one subsidiary to operate the Airport Rail Link Project.

  • The High-Speed Railway (HSR) Service, the Eastern Economic Corridor's Development, and Thailand: a Geographical Simulation Analysis
    Daisuke Hiratsuka, “High-Speed Railway, the EEC, and the Change of the Landscape of Thailand and its Neighboring Countries” BRC Research Report, Bangkok Research Center, JETRO Bangkok/IDE-JETRO, 2018 Chapter 2 The High-speed Railway (HSR) Service, The Eastern Economic Corridor's Development, and Thailand: A Geographical Simulation Analysis Ikumo Isono# 1 Overseas Research Fellow (Seville), IDE-JETRO Abstract: The economic impact of Thailand's HSR project, and development of the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), has been estimated using the Geographical Simulation Model (IDE-GSM). The HSR service will generate a positive economic impact in the areas along the routes and in the areas extending from the stations, but will generate a negative economic impact in other areas. Adding the EEC's development to the Eastern Line project will generate a highly positive economic impact along the Eastern Line route, but other areas will suffer a negative economic impact in comparison with the baseline scenario. In order to spread the economic impact of development in one area across the whole country, additional measures are necessary, and in this paper, we propose the Mekong-India Economic Corridor (MIEC) as an example. Keywords: Simulation, Thailand, High-speed railway, Economic Corridor JEL Classification: O53; R12; R13 1. Introduction As the initiative of Thailand's high-speed railway and the development of the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) is being embodied, the economic impact of these projects has been estimated using the Geographical Simulation Model (IDE-GSM, Kumagai el al. 2013). Currently, four HSR projects, the Northeastern, Northern, Southern and Eastern Lines are planned, and construction of the Northeastern Line started in January 2018, and the EEC will cover from Bangkok to Rayong.
