[wowfactor10]

Where did they get the train carriage in the photo. I have never seen one of these comfortable and clean looking ones in Thailand and never saw passengers in suits.

How does it get connected to pattaya..

Should the bkk citizens be able to get to the beach in 30 minutes of time?

What is the benefit to Japan of this "JV" exactly? Why would they be interested?

...or is it really just a loan like the Chinese "JV"?

read the article !

PM was on a ride from Tokyo to Osaka on this high speed train !!

It must have been pretty embarrassing for the general, when they sat down together to talk about their respective rail services. The Japanese rail system makes Thailand look like it's a hundred years behind, which to be honest is not far from the truth.

I guess this means Prayut or a military junta led Government will need to remain in power in order to see the project successfully delivered. The question is, do they have the capacity to do it and the answer is; they most likely can, if the people empower them to do so in 2016.

I'm sitting at home in the cold UK amusing myself with thoughts of the High Speed train leaving Bangkok heading towards the market on the

railway lines.

The market people have a lookout 5 miles closer to Bangkok but it is touch and go whether the stall holders can move their stuff in time.

I just thought it funny Ah well where's my overcoat.

It will be nice to see a high speed railway system in Thailand.

I think the picture is of a typical high speed train in Japan, and

yes they are that clean!, as I had a chance to ride one once.

Very comfortable and fast!

It gets connected to Pattaya the same way Pattaya is connected already. It's called Right of Way.

Do the Bangkok citizens actually want to get to the beach in 30 minutes. After all what does a Pattaya beach offer?
