At Kaeng Khoi Junction..
1 month has passed, the first pier has been casted..
And it should follow closely because they are drilling and casting piles
And making foundations at the same time..
Long until crossing the road to the end of the line
Entering the Chinee Ville Village
And driving piles across the track that we are riding to the Thap Kwang School side
Contract 3-1 is fast..

There is continuous construction.
The day we went to film was July 4, 2025.
Starting from the staff housing area at Muak Lek Station.
They have started to demolish it to make way for pile driving..
Clearing the area continuously..
Then they will open the hole to cast the foundation before reaching the bridge over the Muak Lek Canal.
They have a lot of it..
After crossing the Muak Lek Canal and going until before reaching Nam Phu Temple, they are also preparing to cast the foundation..
You can see that at Nam Phu Temple.. a new crematorium has been built..
This means that the original crematorium must be demolished.. to make way for construction..
Crossing the track around the Muak Lek basin to the middle of the forest.
At the bridge neck before going down to the balm factory..
The piers are being casted to support the runway all the way to the balm factory..
Then it will be a long ground level route cutting straight into the railway area.
After passing the Central Dong station, it will continue with Contract 1-1.
The area is being cleared to continue with the ground level runway.
Last month, it was still covered with forest.
Straight from Pang Asok station.
It is continuing..
Preparing to be an elevated runway to divert to the other side.
And at the beginning of Contract 3-1, after removing the old track,

SRT to Pursue PPP Model for High-Speed Rail (Thai-Chinese) Bangkok - Nong Khai Line
Bangkok Business, July 14, 2025, 2:41 PM
The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) is accelerating the Thai-Chinese high-speed rail project! Tomorrow marks the first public forum to push forward with a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, inviting private sector participation in the management and operation of the entire Bangkok - Nong Khai route. The SRT is also preparing the Terms of Reference (TOR) for the tender of the second phase, Nakhon Ratchasima - Nong Khai, spanning 357.12 kilometers with a budget exceeding 341 billion baht.
According to a source from the State Railway of Thailand (SRT), tomorrow (July 15) the SRT will host an introductory seminar (orientation) for the "Project Study, Review, and Feasibility Analysis for the Preparation of Tender Documents and Operations under the Public-Private Partnership Act B.E. 2562 (2019)" for the "Cooperation Project between the Government of the Kingdom of Thailand and the Government of the People's Republic of China (Thai-Chinese High-Speed Rail) for the Development of a High-Speed Rail System to Connect Regions, Bangkok - Nong Khai Section."
The forum aims to clarify information regarding the study, review, and feasibility analysis for considering the private sector's joint investment in developing the high-speed rail system, covering the project management and operation of the Thai-Chinese high-speed rail along the entire Bangkok - Nong Khai route. The SRT aims to conclude this study within this year before submitting the feasibility study results and the PPP model to the Cabinet for approval to proceed with the PPP tender for private sector investment.

Scope of the Feasibility Study
The study, review, and feasibility analysis of the project will cover:
1. Feasibility Study: This includes forecasting passenger numbers, technical aspects, pricing, economic and financial considerations, and the System Operation Plan.
2. Project Analysis under PPP Act: This involves studying and analyzing the project as stipulated in the Public-Private Partnership Act B.E. 2562 (2019) and its amendments, along with relevant regulations and laws, project risks, alternative options, and models for public-private joint investment, including the division of returns between the state and the private sector.

Project Progress and Future Plans
The report also indicates that this year will see tangible progress on the Thai-Chinese high-speed rail project. Civil construction work will be put up for tender and piling will commence for the second phase, Nakhon Ratchasima - Nong Khai. Currently, the SRT is in the process of preparing the Terms of Reference (TOR), expected to be issued within July. Similarly, for the rolling stock system, the investment model and private sector participation will be finalized. These expedited efforts aim to ensure readiness for the launch of the first phase of the Thai-Chinese high-speed rail, Bangkok - Nakhon Ratchasima, which is scheduled to open in 2029.

Passenger Projections
For the Nakhon Ratchasima - Nong Khai section, passenger projections are as follows:
The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) is ready to adjust the format of the High-Speed Rail Project (Bang Pa-in Junction Nakhon Ratchasima section) according to the concerns of local residents.
Published: July 14, 2068 17:20 | Updated: July 14, 2068 17:20 | By: Manager Online
The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) affirms its commitment to listening to public opinion and is prepared to adjust the project format in response to local concerns regarding the Bangkok Nakhon Ratchasima High-Speed Rail Project, specifically the section from Ban Phachi Junction to Nakhon Ratchasima, to ensure long-term sustainability for communities.
In response to the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC)'s statement that the Bangkok Nakhon Ratchasima High-Speed Rail Project, particularly the Ban Phachi Junction Nakhon Ratchasima section, violated human rights due to a lack of public participation in Nong Saeng District, Saraburi Province, the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) wishes to clarify that the SRT has not been negligent regarding any public concerns.
For the Bangkok Nakhon Ratchasima High-Speed Rail Project, two official Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) reports have been prepared: the first in 2013, conducted by the Office of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning (OTP) in collaboration with the MAA Consulting Group, and the second in 2017, which was a report on changes to project details. Both reports have been approved by the National Environment Board.
Regarding concerns about the at-grade embankment construction style that may affect the way of life, communities, and environment in Nong Saeng District, the SRT has not been negligent and has considered appropriate solutions. The construction style for some sections has been adjusted to include a bridge overpass approximately 400 meters long to connect areas on both sides of the community, reducing impacts on traffic, scenery, and drainage. This is currently in the detailed design phase for construction.
Concerning the NHRC's observations regarding the public participation process in the EIA preparation, the SRT confirms its continuous commitment to listening to public opinions and is ready to improve and develop the public participation process for other projects to comply with international human rights principles and guidelines from the Office of Natural Resources and Environmental Policy and Planning.
The SRT affirms its dedication to developing modern rail mass transit projects for the benefit of the nation, while remaining open to listening and working with people in all areas to foster mutual understanding, minimize impacts, and create long-term sustainability for communities.
