By 2030, Thailand will likely have its first high-speed rail network up and running, which will connect it to China via Laos. This game-changing initiative will strengthen bilateral trade and ties between the two countries. Officials are hopeful that this infrastructure will boost Southeast Asia’s second-largest economy in the long run, despite the delays. Currently, the first phase of the rail line, which connects Bangkok to Nakhon Ratchasima province, is 36% complete.
