Thailand Seeking Bids for High-speed rail Project as part of Belt & Road Initiative

Thailand would be seeking $5.5 billion-dollar bids for a high-speed rail project by end of 2018. The winning bidder would build the 157-mile route connecting central and northeastern Thailand with their neighbor to the east, Laos. American infrastructure and energy enterprises interested in investing in Thailand should consider cooperating with Thai companies like energy giant PTT Public Company Limited, urban railway operator BTS Group Holdings, and construction company CH. Karnchang Public Company Limited in-order-to avoid potential government red tape.
