Thai rice to Iran

Iran is expected to import more than 400,000 tonnes of Thai rice during the rest of the year in the face of an expected supply shortage in Vietnam.

Concern over Rail Link

State Railway of Thailand chairman Siva Saengmanee has expressed concerned that the Airport Rail Link is only 65.67-per-cent complete, while the construction contract will expire on August 7.
