Thailand officially opened its new Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal in Bangkok on January 19, 2023. Also known as Bang Sue Grand Station, the facility is described as Southeast Asia’s biggest railway station. Thai authorities hope the US$1-billion project will allow the country to become an international hub for the region. The capital’s previous main terminal, Hua Lamphong station, will also remain in operation after public pressure persuaded authorities not to close the century-old station.

We have an iconic train station in Kuala Lumpur and bringing it to live will be commendable. It is sad the government is not going much to safe the iconic stations in Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh, Johor Bahru etc. The KL station is rotting away. My early experiences at the KL station was the restaurant, big hotel rooms and the very knowledgeable staff at the station 🙏❤️

Interesting that one day a traveller would be able to travel from China to Singapore by high speed rail Honestly it sounds like a pretty awesome trip to make, with plenty of opportunities to explore various interesting stops in Laos, Thailand, and Malaysia Sounds like an adventure that I can't wait to go on Too bad Vietnam isn't part of the journey It'd be great if Vietnam could be included, but China probably chose Laos instead due to Vietnam's anti-China stance Pity, such a wasted opportunity But looking on the bright side, it gives people the chance to explore Laos, so it's actually better in a way

Vietnam is the only country in Southeast Asia that has really any real chance of becoming a developed country. So, they are smart to be anti-China. It´s not just Vietnam, high IQ countries like Korea, Japan and Taiwan are very anti-China as well and are very cautious with China´s "investment".

@TheBodiesInTheWaterBeckons Год назад

The problem with the Thai Railway, It's the single track railway that made the train slow, not on-time and unreliable. With the double tracking efforts underway things should be much more enjoyable in the next 10 years (the Authority said 5 years on most of the double tracking projects, but i don't trust them in the slightest, so i always double the timeframes), we already bought newer DMU from China, so the speed problem would be better the very moment that the train tracks are finally doubled. All that's left now is the old carriages that needed to be replace, they're like a walking fossil, they're uncomfortable for the passengers, especially the sleeper carriages, those are impossible to sleep in.

@aburn9891 Год назад

@@TheBodiesInTheWaterBeckons Yes, I would love to take the trains more in Thailand, but they're so slow. They should be faster than travelling by private vehicle for them to be worthwhile, otherwise riding a PV just gives you so much more freedom and remains quicker and more efficient than taking the sleeper train. As a foreigner, I think they're alright for an experience, but I much prefer riding coach buses across provinces or taking a flight over riding the trains as of this moment, fingers crossed things improve in the designated time frame and delays are minimised.
