Phuket's anticipated tram project, planned to connect Phuket International Airport and the Ha Yeak Chalong intersection, is making steady progress with the feasibility study due to be concluded within the next six months.

 

According to Transport Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit, the Mass Rapid Transit Authority (MRTA) is currently conducting the study, set to present the final report in June 2026.

 

Upon the study's completion, the findings will be forwarded to various authorities, including the Transport Ministry, State Enterprise Policy Office, Public-Private Partnership Committee, and the Cabinet, for review from July 2026 until February 2027.

 

The bidding phase follows, projected to run from March 2027 to August 2028. According to Jungrungreangkit, construction will start in September 2028 and is expected to conclude by December 2031.

 

To ensure minimal traffic disruption during the construction period, authorities plan to widen Highway Road No 402 and 4027 alongside developing underpasses at five junctions along Highway 402 on the outskirts of Phuket City.

 

The underpass tunnels will be located near key areas including Muang Thalang School and the Srisunthon municipality office among others, aiming to alleviate congestion and improve traffic flow during the tram system's construction. 

 

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin recently visited Phuket to monitor local police's measures against the so-called foreign mafia. Further, the Prime Minister's visit was primarily focused on the progress of various construction projects aimed at easing traffic congestion in Phuket, mentioned spokesperson Chai Watcharong.

Phuket Tram Project Progresses Towards Completion

 

Think that might be true after they at least start the project. So not any time soon.

That's encouraging. 

 

My plan to marry a supermodel and take over the world is in the same phase of development. 

 

They're saying I can claim steady progress?

A lot of bins will be needed, but those 'studies' sure fill the pockets of some.

Bridge to Samui, Bridge to Koh Chang (that would grid lock the Island the first weekend ) Pattaya Tram/sky train, airports, the list is endless but keeps the rich, rich.

Even there are no proceedings some will earn a lot of money for making plans and feasible studies. 

It's a pity that the Govt will not concentrate on solar power and producing hydrogen.

But obviously PTT (and others) owners are not interested but blasting fuels into the air (Diesel powered trains)
