The Cabinet on Tuesday (October 29) approved the draft of a royal decree to identify land plots that will be reclaimed for the construction of the high speed train project linking the three major international airports, said Deputy government spokesperson Traisulee Traisoranakul.

 

The decree covers land plots in Ladkrabang of Bangkok, Bangpli of Samut Prakarn, Chacheongsao district in Chacheongsao as well as Sriracha, Banglamoong and Sattahip districts in ChonBuri. Land plots in Ban Chang district of Rayong will also be reclaimed. 

 

The Charoen Pokphand-led consortium and the State Railway of Thailand last week signed a contract for the development of a high-speed railway linking Don Mueang Airport in Bangkok, Suvarnabhumi in Samut Prakan and U-tapao in Rayong.

 

The SRT will survey the affected land plots within 60 days.

estimated 75% acquired at the time of signing with 25% remaining... 

Anyone have a map of the plots they are reclaiming? I am quite close to the existing track in Banglamung.

That map would be a closely guarded "secret treasure map" worth billions of Baht  those in the know  buy up the land at a discount before the route is announced to the "public"

 

That said I also live close to the rail line to so would like to know if they are going to be appropriating my wife's humble abode.

Ah now I know how to see where they'll build it. Find out plots owned by army generals and draw lines between them.
