Belt & Road
China has built one of the world's most extensive high-speed rail networks in just a few years. What’s more, it has even been able to offer quality rail products and supplies to other countries.

Sino-Thai Railway

Thailand and China have been negotiating to thrash out details on jointly building a medium-speed railway line in 2015. The railway project, once completed, will connect northeast Thailand's Nong Khai province, capital Bangkok and eastern Rayong province. It is also expected to join the planned China-Laos railway.

In 2016, State Railway of Thailand (SRT) has contracted China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC) Changchun Railway Vehicles Co., LTD to purchase 115 new carriages at a price of 4.98 billion Baht (143 million U.S. dollars). The first new train was launched in August 2016 with a short trip in Thailand.
