Thailand is planning to increase the speed of its rail system and expand its logistics network.
Train speeds will double from 50-60km/h to 100-120km/h under a THB170bn ($5.2bn) rail system budget for the next five years.
Thailand's Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said auctions for the construction of high-speed train projects are in the pipeline.
The country is also studying rail routes to connect to China, according to Manila Bulletin Publishing Corporation.
