Play
State agencies and the Charoen Pokphand Group are continuing their negotiation on the high-speed railway project which will link up Thailand's three main international airports, said Kanit Sangsubhan, secretary general of the Eastern Economic Corridor Office.
The mega project requires negotiations in details. The CP Group has over 100 conditions up for discussions with the government, he said.
So far, most of negotiations have centred on land and land transfers.
For example, work at Makkasan station could start when transfer is made on 50 per cent of the land required.
When asked whether the other group will be called if negotiations with CP Group failed, Kanit said the negotiations is still on-going and is expected to conclude this month.
