High-speed train projects are an important element in Thailand's ambition to become an Indochina logistics hub with the development of the country's rail transport system being a key priority in the government's 20-year development strategic plan (2018–2037).
In recent years, several new rail transport development projects have been rolled out including electric train projects in Bangkok and the surrounding provinces, the first phase of a Thai-Chinese high-speed train project, and a high-speed train project linking up Don Mueang, Suvarnabhumi and U-Tapao airports.
