Perhaps they should focus on keeping the current trains on the tracks. THREE accidents in a single month.

I reckon the BTS to Nonthaburi will take just as long...or longer. And that will cost 200 baht for a trip into town! Only for the wealthy. Not sure how trains increase the quality of life for the ordinary Thai. Quality of life has a lot more than to do with infrastructure...many intangible things Yingluck and co wouldn't understand.

cant agree, the sky train and underground rail improved the quality of life for all bangkokians. when it opened the change was very noticeable. so much less of their lifetime was spent commuting in horrific traffic jams.

Spending one twentieth of the cost of a significant rail infrastructure project on road widening to provide divided highway right through from Bangkok to Ubon would make for more sense as a first recourse. Fc_uking amateurs these politicians
