BANGKOK (NNT) - According to government spokesperson Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana, Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha will visit Udon Thani province on Wednesday to attend a meeting with representatives of the public and private sectors and to inaugurate Udon Plus Model.

 

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha will visit Wat Kesorn Seelakhun in Muang district on Wednesday to pay homage to Phra Rachvachirathamacharn and follow up on the construction of a museum to house the ashes of Luang Ta Maha Bua.

 

After that, the prime minister will meet with Governor Sayam Sirimongkol, local officials, and private and public sector representatives to discuss the province’s development plan.

Well, here's the news. The prime minister and the governor of Udon will DISCUSS Udon's development plan in regards to logistics and transport systems linking Thailand to China. 

I hope the boys are aware of the fact, that the Chinese inked a commitment in 2016 to put the first ever train link between Boten (China/Lao border) and Vientiane onto the Lao map from the very scratch across 400+ kilometres with countless tunnels and bridges within five years. Not only will this high speed train open as scheduled tomorrow, 2 December 2021 but all the tests runs over the last few months have been completed - the train is ready to go and will start regular passenger and cargo services on 3 December. 

Meanwhile in Thailand - under the same government as Uncle Too has been in the driver seat for 6 ½ years already - you see one of planet Earth's biggest open-air museum of railway corruption. Completely antiquated rolling stock operated by a board of greedy daylight thieves in yet another most corrupt state agency - a state state of affairs. 

And these totally incompetent elected clowns are DISCUSSING developements on something the Chinese started 2 ½ years later, under much more miserable preconditions and finished the job in time? 

We will see, the Chinese made it crystal clear to see a high speed link from Kunming to Singapore by 2028. Tip to the Thai railway boys and the bigwigs hovering over them - stop blabla and get to work as you're running out of time.
