The development of high-speed rail link between Thailand and neighboring countries
will benefit Thailand in terms of strategic position for regional transport center. For air
transport, other major cities in the region, including Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore all
have the potential to become a hub for air travel in the region. But in terms of land transport,
Bangkok is a city that has the greatest potential in the geographical center of the region. If
Bangkok can be connected to major cities in the region using high-speed train, Bangkok will
become the center of land transport of Southeast Asia, certainly.
