Minister of Transport Arkhom Termpittayapaisith favours Chinese help in building a high-speed train network but the project has fallen far behind schedule. (Bangkok Post file photo)The Thai-Chinese high-speed train project could face a construction delay due to different measurement systems of the track specifications. The section is part of the 252.5km Thai-Chinese high-speed train project, from Bangkok to Nakhon Ratchasima, worth about 179 billion baht. The SRT has also employed consultants to examine the track design submitted by China. Transport Minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith said he had not received a report on rail track's design problems yet.
