Nice development. We should make more topics about present and future. All this historyrelated stuff in Thai chat gets boring.

Just curious, how come i don't see new rail link or more money being spent on the Red shirt region, like issan and lanna when 1/3 of the total population live there.

2 months sog, I passed Bangkok sky train Phyathai station and I saw the construction.
So I guess that construction may be this Airport Rail Link, right?

Yes.

Thai Lak Thai policies make sense to Lanna and issan because it's spreading wealth all across the country like how many European countries do. The policies are ahead of time. Of course many Bangkokian dont like that idea. All money should be spent in Bangkok only and other regions should get sh!t.

Long live Thai Lak Thai and Thaksin Shinawatra, truely elected Thai minister, not handpick by the Junta like Abasit.

..............

The last time I was in Bangkok I saw the construction site from the highway. Very impressive indeed.

let's see what the "made in bangkok" gonna look like..

i never visited Suwannaphum airport. i herrd all domestic flights will surely move to Suwannaphum soon. I like Dommuang more cos it much more nearer to my house.

Suwanapoom airport being the hub of Asia, Cheer!

Just came back from Suvannaphum airport.
Hope this airport link will be finished soon.
Taxi fee to the airport is really expensive.

I heard that it will be completed and opened in August this year.

just like me lol we were on the same highway

I feel bad for the ethical taxi drivers that rely on their income from this route. Poor guys

ให้เดินอีกละ they should be escalators up and down.

It will be complete within this year

good news indeed

I don't really. There too many cars in Bangkok that pollute the air. Like 50% of all cars are actually taxis since there is still a lack of good public transport possibilities for people. Bangkok is working on that.

Looking good!!

If you were Bangkokian, you would pick the sky train. there's no traffic jam

Better than sub way too, no kilo walk inside the station

I get lost sometimes. lol

Just curious, how much Abhasit borrowed money from the Japanese Bank to finance the rail link ? Who got the most benefit ? Which tax payers will be paying for it?

Thanks in advance.

that 23.7 billion loan from Japan is for expanding the subway system. We Thai will get the most benefit.

You're welcome.

Jek contractors get the most benefit and poor thai taxpayer have to pick up their slack for the next generation to come.


That is the fact PeaceOf$hit.

A fact from Buttlover ,LOLzzzz

Jek suppliers, contractors, builders get the most benefits, and tax payers have to pick up their slack.

Too bad you can not handle the truth, and decide to close your eyes. True is true, and the truth hurts.

You're way too funny! You mean we should stop any maga project and construction here in this country? That's why we have the opposition party to investigate them. So wake UP! to the real world....

Stop acting like jek don't get any benefit, while thai tax payer have to pay for the next generation to come. true is true.

In this project (Airport high speed train. aka SARL) the government did not borrow money from Japan.

We using our own money.

Thai ppl and foreigners who come to visit thailand get the most benefit. (include laos)

Umm.. Laos has no infrastructure because of their way of thinking , I get it

Thank you for sharing your fake information: here is the fact son. Your rail link is being borrowed. Any more question let me know. Be proud to be a borrower, so you can brag about how nice bangkock is, just like Jek Teeoi like to do.


Thailand plans to borrow Bt1.4 trillion to finance investment in infrastructure during fiscal years 2010-12, when foreign direct investment and exports will remain subdued, says Prime Minister. (Nation)

Hello! Knock! Knock! Hear this???Plan to borrow "For the infrastructure during fiscal years 2010-12"...

Oh really ? According to Gazilla, we're using our own money. What a joke and PeaceOf$hit is jumping on the bandwagon.
Plan to borrow 2010-2012 and already ready borrow from the Japanese for the mass transit rail system. KNock, KNock peaceboy.

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has left Japan with a 63 billion yen (24 billion baht) loan secured by the Japanese government to help finance construction of a mass transit rail system in Thailand.


http://www.bangkokpost.com/breakingnews/13...-to-thailand-pm

LOLzzzz So which part of your infomation said we use the loaned money to build the airport link? I'm not sure if your brain still functioning right?

Again that 23.7 billion loan from Japan is for expanding the subway system. Bside we still have enough " foreign exchange reserves" , due to some law regulation we can't use them on this purpose....

Let me repeat for people that like to deny this and that. Where did it say subway system. only in your own mind.

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has left Japan with a 63 billion yen (24 billion baht) loan secured by the Japanese government to help finance construction of a mass transit rail system in Thailand.

Yes! Yes! repeat it! Then read this:

TOKYO - THAI Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva was preparing to leave Japan on Saturday after securing a loan aimed at helping the kingdom expand Bangkok's subway system.

http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNew...ory_335386.html

The loan will be used for financing the long-delayed construction of the 66.8km Red Line electric train from Rangsit in Pathum Thani province, passing through Bang Sue and Hua Lamphong, to Mahachai in Samut Sakhon province.

So we all agree that the current government is borrowing money to finance mass transit rail system. Not from its own money like some jek thai around here are trying to tell the world.

Knock!Knock! Hello! We just have proof you're wrong about using them for the airport link.

And the reason they loan us money with low interest rate for expanding subway system , coz we have enough foreign exchange reserves.

plan to borrow 2010-2012.

Airport link will be accomplished in this year. It was started 2004 (five years ago)

Wake up fake siamese, stop taking too much ya-ba would you, who are you trying to fool, nobody believe you:

2009 Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has left Japan with a 63 billion yen (24 billion baht) loan secured by the Japanese government to help finance construction of a mass transit rail system in Thailand.

2010-12 Thailand plans to borrow another Bt1.4 trillion to finance investment in infrastructure, when foreign direct investment and exports will remain subdued, says Prime Minister. (Nation)


Anymore question let me know.
