An airport city and high-speed rail in Eastern Thailand

Greetings from Rayong City - the capital of Rayong Province in Eastern Thailand. U-Tapao Airport (also marketed as Pattaya Airport) is in Rayong province, and the 3-Airport High-speed railway will eventually connect it to Bangkok. There is also a proposal to extend this railway to Rayong City, putting this unassuming provincial capital within an easy train trip to Bangkok.

This week’s article is a fact sheet of projects planned for Rayong Province. There is not much to report on yet, but one of the big projects is the Airport City at U-Tapao Airport. And if the railway is extended then expect to see more happening in Rayong City.
