The Thai Transport Ministry said it would launch bidding for five double-track rail route construction projects worth 101.5 billion baht (EUR 2.6 billion) in December. The State Railway of Thailand is now gathering feedback on the draft bidding terms for the rail projects.
Bidding will be called for all five projects between 13 and 20 December, and then bidders will be allowed to submit their proposals between January and February. Contracts will be signed in March 2017.
The five double-track rail projects, which were approved by the cabinet earlier, cover a total of 702 kilometres.
They comprise the 167 km Prachuap Khiri Khan-Chumphon route; the 132 km Map Kabao-Thanon Chira Junction line; the 148 km Lop Buri-Pak Nam Pho route; the 165 km Nakhon Pathom-Hua Hin route; and the 90km Hua Hin-Prachuap Khiri Khan line.
