If it was up to me, I would want to leave both Phuket and HH as quickly as possible, not get to either place. Any form of transport that achieves that objective is good. Jeez! Who cares what you think about Phuket and Hua Hin. Each to their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natway09 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Good old SRT. Most badly run Government Dept in Thailand. High speed train to Hua Hin should have been operating at least 15 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bday Prang Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 It isn't actually that far from Bangkok to Hua Hin. does it really need to be "high speed" I mean what's the rush. At least It will bring the Orient express out of the last century Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand needs a high speed train station at Hua Hun, which then continues to track all the way south. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayClay Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 15 hours ago, Nicknoodle said: This has only been just confirmed? Sure? So why from Bangkok to Hua Hin are there new tracks and most stations are being rebuilt and many bridges built over the railway lines in Hua Hin?? Surely the plans have been in place for years. The twin track project and the high-speed project are two different things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caldera Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Oh look, another high-speed train announcement. Is it just me, or do they just seem to keep pushing the dates forward without actually getting any work done? Meanwhile Laos, of all places and despite the sad state of the economy there, already HAS their first high-speed rail line. I plan to ride it in December. THIS year.

But, in this day and age you do what you can, if you want the nation to advance. If Thailand cannot afford to build a high speed alternative to the congested and dangerous highways here, it should seek help elsewhere. Japan might be willing to help, with far more advantageous, and less perilous terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

my friend I Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 On 10/5/2022 at 2:39 PM, Stocky said: Let's not put the cart before the horse! Thailand desperately needs a modern twin track railway line from Bangkok to the Malaysian border. The line from Singapore to Padang Basar is now twin track with overhead electrics. North of the border it's still the original 1920 single track with passing points and diesel. Some 10% of Thailand's trade is with Malaysia, most of that currently goes by road. . There is a fair bit of work done thru to Chomphon but there are gaps also. Lots of cement for new stations, staff housing, platforms and overpasses.Many workers are Burmese. A long way to go still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
