Thailand and China have launched a railway project, marking the beginning of bilateral cooperation to develop Thailand's first standard-gauge double-track railway line.
A launching ceremony was held at Chiang Rak Noi station in central Thailand's Ayutthaya province. This is where the future Operations Control center of the railway project will be located.
The two sides are collaborating in building a medium-speed railway line. It will use 1.435-meter standard gauge with trains operating at top speeds of 160-180 kilometers per hour.
The 845-kilometer line will link the Thai capital Bangkok with the northeastern city of Nong Khai near Laos.
