Unesco experts are scheduled to visit the Ayutthaya segment of Thailand's high-speed rail project next month, focusing on the Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) due to its proximity to the Ayutthaya Historical Park. While the experts will provide guidance on preserving this world heritage site, they lack the authority to halt construction of the station situated 1.5 kilometres away. The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) has been asked to proceed with an HIA report without stopping work on the project.

 

The 13.3-kilometre rail link between Ban Pho and Phra Kaeo in Ayutthaya is approaching contract finalisation, with signing anticipated soon by the Transport Ministry and contractor Boonchaipanich. Notably, the report will go to Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit, expecting to continue overseeing the project from his deputy, Surapong Piyachote.

 

 

This section forms part of the 700-kilometre Sino-Thai high-speed railway, stretching from Bangkok to Nong Khai. The project employs a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Gross Cost Investment model, inspired by the MRT Purple Line's budgeting success. The Ministry aims to include a second phase to extend the line, proposing a 357.12-kilometre track from Nakhon Ratchasima to Nong Khai to the cabinet soon.
