The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) is preparing to submit its fiscal 2023 budget proposal for a feasibility study of the second-phase extension of the high-speed rail project linking three major airports.
The present rail project will connect Don Mueang and Suvarnabhumi airports in Bangkok with U-Tapao airport in Rayong which will include a Rayong-Chanthaburi-Trat link, stretching 190 kilometres.
The SRT will ask for 100 million baht to hire consultants and conduct a feasibility study for a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) investment as well as the required Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).
