Construction of two medium-speed railway routes under a Thai-Chinese agreement faces yet another delay, less than a month after the two countries pledged to speed up the project.
The delay emerged from the latest round of talks on Wednesday and Thursday in Beijing, a Transport Ministry source said on Friday.
It was earlier planned that construction would begin before the year's end. The two countries have now agreed on May next year as the new target month for the start of work, the source said.
