webfact Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 The Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand (MRTA) is set to implore the Transport Ministry to advance three significant mass-transit projects in the regions of Bangkok and Phuket. The ambitious trio of projects come with an estimated investment value of approximately 220 billion baht. Pakapong Sirikantaramas, the governor of MRTA, declared yesterday that these projects include the Orange and Brown lines in Bangkok, along with a mass transit project in Phuket. The Orange Line is designed to connect the Bang Khun Non-area in the Bangkok Noi district, situated on the western side of the Chao Phraya River, to the Min Buri district in the east of Bangkok. Currently, the eastern side, extending over 22.57 kilometres, from the Thailand Cultural Centre station to Min Buri, is nearing completion. However, the construction of the western extension, set to span 13.4 kilometres and link the Cultural Centre station to Bang Khun Non, has yet to commence. The delay in the construction of the Orange Line’s western extension is due to a disagreement over the bidding process, according to Pakapong. The total cost for this project is projected to be around 140 billion baht. by Mitch Connor Photo: skyscrapercity.com Full story: The Thaiger 2023-10-04 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.
