Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban said the construction of the Nong Khai-Bangkok-Padang Bezar high-speed train will start next year and will be completed in four years.
Suthep said he visited China to discuss the project in details on Saturday.
Suthep said the Chinese government asked him to speed up drafting conditions and seek a parliamentary approval before the contract for the construction will be signed in March or April.
Suthep said he also asked China to provide soft loan for the construction.
