The Bangkok post reported yesterday that the Thai military Junta government has invested over 700 billion THB in a new railway project that will connect Laos, South China and Thailand by highspeed train.
The new railway lines will pass through Chiang Kong in North Thailand and Nongkhai before passing through Laos and eventually connecting with southern Chinese railways.
Transportation Minister, Soithip Traisuth has said that the plan is to build two highspeed railway lines, one of which will eventually become a Kunming-Bangkok service and another that will provide high speed services between Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore.
Once completed, the South East Asian countries will hopefully benefit from elevated interconnectivity and economic cooperation with China.

Personally, i feel when people, countries ect. Make blantant chinese money grabs they should bite their tongues later with the bitching. Its stupidy. They know the chinese will destroy thailand yet pander to them anyways. Its like my stupid country letting any bao fa hu come in with a cheque and then complain that chinese arent assimilaing immediately into Canadian culture. Chinese have been doing this for generations. Its 2014 and China hasnt blocked google in Canada yet. There is no excuse.
