"The government through the EEC Committee agreed to change the last station of the route to U-tapao airport instead of Rayong," Mr Kanit told the Bangkok Post. According to Mr Kanit, the high-speed railway is one of the vital developments to build investor confidence. The EEC committee earlier this month approved 168 infrastructure development projects worth 989 billion baht for the EEC flagship scheme. The infrastructure development plan will come in three phases: urgent, intermediate and long term. Of total EEC infrastructure investment, state spending will account for 30%, public-private partnerships 59%, state-owned enterprises 10% and the Royal Thai Army 1%.
