Officials of the Thai, Lao PDR and Chinese governments are considering the building of new railway bridge, running parallel to an existing one, which will carry two different rail gauges, one metre and 1.435 metres, to facilitate the cross-border transport of cargo containers.
Currently, there is no rail link between the already operational China-Lao PDR high-speed train system and Thailand’s rail network, which terminates in the north-eastern province of Nong Khai, due to the different rail gauges. Thai cargo containers bound for China have to be unloaded from trains at a container terminal in Nong Khai and loaded onto container trucks to cross the First Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge to Vientiane and then loaded onto the high-speed train to China.
