Infrastructure upgrade to lift Thai tourism
Bangkok Post
|October 25, 2025
The Transport Ministry wants to upgrade infrastructure to facilitate travellers, proposing an extension of the high-speed railway from U-tapao airport to Rayong and Trat, while attracting more direct flights to Krabi airport from the congested Phuket airport while the new airport in Phangnga is constructed.
Transport Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn said the ministry already told the Eastern Economic Corridor to study the possibility of extending the high-speed railway connecting three airports.
The rail project is set to terminate at U-tapao airport. To help increase traffic at U-tapao, the line should connect Rayong, Chanthaburi and Trat provinces to capitalise on tourism in those areas, he said.
The construction of a high-speed railway, under a joint venture with Asia Era One Co (CP Group), has been delayed for several years.
Mr Phiphat said the ministry does not plan to amend the high-speed rail contract by switching to an instalment format based on construction progress.
