A Royal Decree on Land Expropriation in Bangkok, Pathum Thani, Ayutthaya, Saraburi and Nakhon Ratchasima provinces has been published in the Royal Gazette, to pave way for the construction of the first stage of the Thai-Chinese high-speed train mega project, running from Bangkok to Nakhon Ratchasima in the north-east.

 

In Bangkok, land will be expropriated in parts of Chatuchak, Lak Si and Don Mueang districts. In Pathum Thani the land is in Lam Luk Ka, Thanyaburi, Muang and Khlong Luang districts. In Ayutthaya province, the areas include Bang Pa-in, Muang, Uthai and Phachi districts.

 

In Saraburi province, the areas to be expropriated cover parts of Nong Saeng, Sao Hai, Muang, Kaeng Khoi and Muak Lek districts while, in Nakhon Ratchasima, the areas include parts of Pak Chong, Sikhio, Song Nern and Muang districts.

That was quick. It was only maybe ten days ago that some Thai government wonks were off to meet with their Chinese counterparts to see if this on-again, off-again project could be kick-started.

Maybe the land route was 'appropriated' quickly by the 'right' people

Check out the families of any recently bought land.  In civilised countries this is known as insider dealing.

If the Part of the megaproject has yet to be built from the Thai border with Laos, then what is that construction for in Nong Khai Province.? It looks like a huge overpass being built over the main road just outside the Muang district.

 

A money printing machine for few, certain people with the right connections.

Still dragging their heels on this one.

Anyone would think they have changed their minds but no-one has the guts to tell Xi.

No going back on a royal decree.

Curious—which Thai people would be riding on this high speed train?
