The decree covers land plots in Ladkrabang of Bangkok, Bangpli of Samut Prakarn, Chacheongsao district in Chacheongsao as well as Sriracha, Banglamoong and Sattahip districts in ChonBuri. Land plots in Ban Chang district of Rayong will also be reclaimed.
The Charoen Pokphand-led consortium and the State Railway of Thailand last week signed a contract for the development of a high-speed railway linking Don Mueang Airport in Bangkok, Suvarnabhumi in Samut Prakan and U-tapao in Rayong.
The SRT will survey the affected land plots within 60 days.
