Rimmer Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Pattaya to Become "Beachside Suburb" of “World's Best City PATTAYA: -- At a recent closed door meeting of Pattaya business people, Pattaya Deputy Mayor Ronnakit Ekkasing unveiled plans for the extension of the high speed train from Bangkok to the airport to make stops in Pattaya and along the way to Rayong. “The first route chosen for the project travels to Pattaya, and continues from there to Rayong,” the hard working Deputy Mayor said. The high speed train tracks will replace the outdated tracks running parallel to the east of Sukhumvit Highway. Currently, only one train operates a day, coming to Pattaya from Bangkok in the morning and returning to Bangkok in the afternoon. The cost is 37 baht per passenger and the train stops numerous times, taking more than four hours one way. Pattaya property developer Drew Noyes told the Pattaya Times "With Bangkok soon to be only a short 30 minute trip train away, Full story HERE -- Pattaya Times 2011-07-18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saengsureeya Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 So ,the current tracks are going to be replaced by the high-speed tracks. Meaning that low-speed transport of goods and high-speed transport of people will be using one track? Another thing is of course: a high speed railtrack requires un-even railroad crossings (e.g. tunnels), so apart from replacing the rail-tracks, some major digging have to be done. The plus is: all the soil that is recovered during the building activities, can be dumped along Beach Road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharecropper Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) Ha ha. Nice one Thai Visa. After putting this uncritical rubbish up as a news article and quoting from self-styled "property developer" Drew Noyes, it then splashes another law firm's ad underneath it, for Siam Legal, instead of having Noyes's own over-hawked legal firm PAPPA, which he bizarrely doesn't even mention once in the entire article either.

TheWalkingMan Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I looked at that website and that Noyes character seems to toot his own horn with his life history. TheWalkingMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
