An ambitious plan to build Thailand’s first urban rail network outside of Bangkok will come to fruition in the northeastern city of Khon Kaen. | asianewsnetwork
Mr Suradech is a founding member of the Khon Kaen Think Tank , one of the local groups that helped to broker the approval of the project with the central government.
Khon Kaen has a population of nearly two million people and is not a typical foreign tourist destination. Through a private-public partnership with the Khon Kaen Transit System , a public company founded by the five Khon Kaen municipalities along the tram line, the large-scale project finally cleared all government red tape in 2018.
“We told the government, at that time the NCPO , that this project is different. We just need your approval; we will find the money and run everything by ourselves. So this was key,” said Mr Suradech. With construction on the light rail project expected to begin in early 2024, trams built with the help of Mr Suradech’s company Cho Thavee are currently undergoing trial.
