Megaprojects in Thailand?

Post by Wesu »

I am doing an essay about new and forthcoming megaprojects in Thailand.

I know Ocean-1 Tower in Pattaya, but any others?

Railways, Airports, Dams, Roads, Ports, telecommunication, schools... anything MEGA?

Pls. let me know.

thanks

There's a lot going on with the rail transit systems in/near Bangkok, both elevated and subway. I don't know any detailed link to information though? Perhaps look at the Bangkok Post on line at www.bangkokpost.com daily as there are bits and pieces in there weekly.
Nothing that I know of concerning your other categories, except perhaps to build a pier at the new S'bumi airport so the flying boats can land and dock this rainy season...LOL. Pete :cheers:

I got also deepsea port, new mega bridge. Infrastructure projects are not explained exactly and named but I guess I gotta dig deeper.

Laem Chabang deepsea port is already established and has been for years. It is about 20 K north of Pattaya. I did read they were thinking of another new one down South at Surathani(sp) but I don't think that idea/plan has gone very far yet.

There is also something about a new bridge across the Mekong to Laos, in the area directly east of Chiang Mai. That would be the third bridge. There was a write up in the Saturday Bangkok Post I think. Pete :cheers:

The new bridge story was in Sunday's Bangkok Post, not Saturday. Here is the link.

Read stories: BRIDGE TO FAR and SPAN OFFERS GOOD NEWS AND BAD FOR REMOTE DISTRICT. Pete :cheers:
