GungaDin Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 October 08, 2008 10:09 AM China To Build Section Of China-Laos-Thailand Railway HANOI, Oct 8 (Bernama) -- China will invest 20.4 billion Chinese yuan (about US$ 3 billion) to build a 600-km railway segment running from its Southwestern province of Yunnan to Thailand's Mohan through Laos. A feasibility study of the Yuxi-Mohan section of the China-Laos-Thailand international railway will be completed within this year, the Vietnam news agency (VNA) said. The commencement of the construction works planned as early as possible, an official with the Yunnan railway construction leading group was quoted by VNA as saying. Up to 70 percent of the total investment of the project will be provided by the Chinese Ministry of Railways, with the remainder being funded by Yunnan Province. -- BERNAMA Try as I might, I can't find Mohan in Thailand Anyone know where it is or is it a typo? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrry Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) Still haven't found it but this is a link for a roadtrip to china through Mohan http://www.downtheroad.org/Asia/Photo/a1Yu...Mohan_China.htm Edited October 9, 2008 by harrry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GungaDin Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 Goodonyer Harry, I think you've solved it. Mohan is a border town in China close to Laos & Thailand, according to Gmaps. The BERNAMA story is incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kartman Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Unless China are going to move Mohan into Thailand perhaps that's part of the deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricardo Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 But what track-guage are they using, on the new freight-line, will it dictate a change-over for the Thai section, when PM-SamakSomchai gets round to building it ? Sorry, I just cottoned-on, as long as you can rake in the bribes by pretending to consider to build the Thai section, what does it matter, whether or not it actually ever gets built ! My blood-alcohol level must be low today, my brain isn't functioning, correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machlad Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Hasn't the Thai - Laos section just recently been opened through Nong Khai? I guess the Chinese are only building their section in China to their border at Mohan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
