BKK to PATTS high speed train service .

[dirtycash]

what ever happened to it ? is it still in the pipeline or was it just BS from the start ?

[Crossy]

It's one of the routes still being mulled by the government (the other is BKK Hua Hin)

But since the wheels came of the deal with the Chinese I wouldn't be holding my breath for it to get started.

Money for studies done is long gone. Need more studies.

Probably better to wait for the Skytrain to organically grow towards Pattaya.

Pipeline?

More like a trickle.

Bla bla for years now. Don't know how many "starts soon" I have read.

The Chinese are not that easy business partners and - believe or not - they want interest for their loans.

I lost interest and don't think that I will experience it will happen during my lifetime.

It will happen around the same time as the bullet trains and the Pattaya subway.

You need to have patience.Everything in Thailand is slow or stop.If your in A hurry your in the wrong country

How fast do you want to go?

"At present there is only one train a day, which leaves Bangkok (weekdays only) at 6.55 am, arriving in Pattaya some 3 hours and 40 minutes later. However at 31 Baht it is amazingly cheap: the Song Thaew from Pattaya station to down-town, seems comparatively expensive at 30 Baht".
