Risk-sharing stalls high-speed airport rail deal

The 224.5-billion-baht high-speed railway linking Don Mueang, Suvarnabhumi and U-Tapao airports was approved in March 2018 under Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha's administration as a flagship Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) project. More than eight years and seven governments later, the project remains stalled by a combination of land, financing and contractual disputes. Although the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) has cleared a draft contract amendment, key disagreements between the state and the private concessionaire remain unresolved.
