Transport project to serve EEC scheme
Bangkok Post Published: 20/03/2018 at 04:00 AM

The Eastern Economic Corridor Office (EEC Office) is proposing a high-speed railway linking three main airports worth 200 billion baht to the cabinet Tuesday.

The project aims to connect Don Mueang, Suvarnabhumi and U-tapao airports to serve the government's much-touted EEC scheme, spanning three provinces -- Chachoengsao, Chon Buri and Rayong.

Kanit Sangsubhan, secretary-general of the EEC Office, said the government expects the terms of reference (ToR) to be completed this month. A market sounding for future investors is also scheduled for March.

"The government will provide the project detail to investors," he said. "More than 70 companies, both local and foreign, will attend the market sounding."

The railway expansion will largely be built along an existing route operated by the State Railway of Thailand at a length of 260 kilometres. An inner-city train travelling in Bangkok will have a slower speed of 160km per hour, while a rural route can reach a maximum speed of 250km per hour.

This route comprises 10 high-speed stations: Don Mueang, Bang Sue, Makkasan, Suvarnabhumi, Chachoengsao, Chon Buri, Sri Racha, Pattaya, U-tapao and Rayong.

Mr Kanit said the government has a plan to link the double-track railway with three deep-sea ports in the EEC at Map Ta Phut, Laem Chabang and Sattahip, expecting to serve the country's imports and exports.

"The government is looking for success in five main areas -- infrastructure projects, the 10 targeted industries, the tourism sector, innovation and human development in the EEC provinces," he said.

Capt Somnuk Keawmaruang, deputy director of U-tapao Airport Authority, said the Royal Thai Navy also plans to develop eight projects that are related to the EEC scheme.

The main project will be the development of U-tapao airport on 6,500 rai, including the new 3.5km runway, and the phase three terminal expansion.

"The government expects the runway and the terminal will be completed in three years, with U-tapao airport serving more than 250,000 flights per year," he said.

Capt Somnuk said the navy also plans to develop a 700-rai plot at the airport. The government expects its infrastructure investment in U-tapao will be completed by 2023. The airport is projected to serve 15 million passengers in the next five years, 30 million in the next 10 years and 60 million in the next 15 years.

The government also expects to spend 250 billion baht for development under the public-private partnership model.

Capt Somnuk said the defence industry ecosystem has also been included among the targeted industries under the S-curve policy, as the government wants to increase the country's security and reduce the importation of weapons and technology from abroad.

"We aim to conduct R&D for defence locally," he said.

Hua Hin ok or not ? I see no mountain in the morning, I damn sianz.

555 moutain ror?.. Hua hin and cha am are beach areas

As for H Hin, fret not ...just within 10km radius, you start on some rolling plains into the scenic mountains. 50km (or 45min lovely scenic drive), and you are onto the Kaeng Krachan national park (with big dam)

Got a soft spot for CNX, with my regular commute to/from Lampang (snaky mountain 100m drive) then.

When I was in CNX, I usually stayed in hotel rooms with mountain view. I love waking up to the view of Doi Suthep.

Between mountains and seas, I prefer mountains.

Cnx used to be one of the best cities to live in but that was 10 years ago when you know then which PM is in charged.

Now cnx is just another overpopulated city with lots of prc influences in almost everything.

Actually Pattaya also slowly becoming like another prc town but no as jialat as cnx due to the distance. Tiongs can drive their prc registered cars into siam lor but have yet to see one in Pattaya. Cnx many.

No prise for guessing where the funds came from? Also not surprise that there is no mention of funding source in the article. This news was actually known to the local property industry about 7-8 months ago.

Edit: btw, this project actually affected the land usage status in many areas. For eg. some plots of land are designated to be non agriculture suddenly become industrial/commericial. So the land price shoot up by many times. In siam lor, you cannot suka suka buy a piece of land and build whatever you want.
