UMI ASIA Ltd. has conducted this research study for Swiss Rail to examine the railway industry in Thailand, as part of a series of studies on the railway market in Southeast Asia. This project is aimed at providing insight into the opportunities and challenges prevalent in the Thai railway sector. For this, thorough desk research has been conducted to examine the current railway industry and future expansion plans.
We begin our research by examining the business climate in Thailand, including a brief overview of the economic prospects, political developments and relevant infrastructure quality of the country.
▪ Thailand has enjoyed a strong economic growth of 7.6% from 2008 to 2012. Despite the current political climate, this strong positive trend is expected to continue, with forecasted GDP growth of 4% - 5% in 2014.
▪ Thailand has undergone multiple political reforms in the past decade, with the current political tension continuing beyond the February 2014 election. The uncertain political climate has put on hold several government projects, posing a risk for
investment.
▪ The overall quality of infrastructure in Thailand is one of the most developed in the region, with the exception of railways.
▪ The government plans to invest heavily in the improvement of the current underdeveloped rail infrastructure, providing a major opportunity for investment.
Next, we examine the current railway industry, including existing operators, track infrastructure and rolling stock.
! The national rail network expands through major provinces in Thailand with capital city, Bangkok, the only province with urban mass transit train systems
! There are 4 rail operators in Thailand, 3 of which operate the Bangkok mass transit system
– State Railway of Thailand (SRT) is state-owned and the national rail operator in Thailand
▫ Total track length of 4,035 km, running on 1,000 mm track gauge (meter gauge)
▫ Active rolling stock include 253 locomotives, 1,244 passenger coaches, 5,041 freight wagons
– SRT Electrified Train (SRTET) is a subsidiary of SRT, operating the Airport Rail Link in Bangkok
▫ Total track length of 28.6 km, running on 1,435 mm track gauge (standard gauge)
▫ Uses electric trains from Siemens, operating a total of 9 trains
– Bangkok Mass Transit System Company Limited (BTSC) operates the BTS Skytrain in Bangkok
▫ Total track length of 36.75 km, running on 1,435 mm track gauge (standard gauge)
▫ Uses electric trains from Siemens (35 units) and CNR (12 units)
– Bangkok Metro Public Company Limited (BMCL) operates the MRT subway trains in Bangkok
▫ Total track length of 20 km, running on 1,435 mm track gauge (standard gauge)
▫ Rolling stock compose of 19 trains from Siemens

Several challenges have also been revealed in our study of the railway industry.
▪
SRT’s fleet is ageing with more than 60% of locomotives at least 30 years old. The ageing fleet andtrack infrastructure has contributed to frequent accidents and train derailments in Thailand.
▪
State-enterprises such as SRT and SRTET are struggling with financial losses and speculation ofcorruption that have increased public scrutiny over government mega-projects
▪
Mass rapid transit system in Bangkok struggle to meet demands as the MRT and BTS do not reach outer Bangkok. Technical problems are also common.▪
Expansion plans within Bangkok requiring the expropriation of land have also faced local resistance The success of the much needed improvement and expansion of rail networks in Thailand will depend on the parliament’s approval of the government’s THB 2.0 trillion Infrastructure InvestmentProgram. The future of railways in Thailand is composed of high speed rail networks and double-track rails to increase efficiency of freight and passenger traffic. Bangkok will also see an effective mass transit train system that will connect the entire Bangkok Metropolitan Region.
▪
Four high speed rail routes are planned throughout the country: (1) Bangkok – Chiang Mai; (2) Bangkok – Rayong; (3) Bangkok – Nong Kai; (4) Bangkok – Padang Besar▪
Six double-track rail network projects are planned to increase the speed of freight and passenger transport▪
In Bangkok, ten mass rapid transit rail lines are planned to connect outer Bangkok to the city center, including the extension of two existing MRT and BTS lines▪
Train operators also plan to increase their rolling stock to boost capacityUMI Asia (Thailand) Ltd. W orki ng D ra ft - La st Mo dif ie d 7 /2 9/2 01 1 8 :3 6:5 0 PM Pri nte d | 3

! The SRT’s trains are very old and run mostly on single-track rails; average train speeds are only 39 km/hour for freight and 60 km/
hour for passenger trains
! Train delays are common due to under-maintained tracks
! The Bangkok mass rapid transit system are only concentrated in the CBD, with a reach of only 7.6 km per million people
! Safety is a major concern, with several train derailments each year

SRT Ridership
(Million passengers per year)
! Ridership has an annual average
decline rate of 3.3%
over the last two decades
! After initial slow increase during the early 1990s, passenger numbers rapidly
decreased throughout the period of the Asian Economic Crisis towards the end of the 1990s
! The steady decline of ridership during the last decade (on average 2.2% p.a.) may be attributed to increasing
substitute modes of transportation such as
private bus services with more expansive networks and faster travel time 04 51 03 54 02 56 01 56 2000 61 99 55 98 61 97 65 96 68 95 72 94 87 93 88 92 88 91 87 1990 85 47 -3.3% 07 45 06 49 05 50 -2.2% -8.8% +0.6% 2012 41 11 46 10 45 09 47 08

Freight transport via rail shows a positive long-term trend, but a negative
trend in recent years
63
Gradual increase
SRT Freight transport volumes
(Million ton)
! Long-term positive
trend of annual 1.5% growth in freight
transport via rail ! However, recent
decline in freight activity during the past 8 years
! Poor track and an
ageing train fleet
make freight transport by rail unreliable in the last decade,
contributing to the average annual decline rate of 2.8% from 2004 to 2012
! Freight transport by rail is expected to increase in the future due to rising oil prices and government policies to shift logistics from road to rail 03 04 05 06 07 96 95 94 93 92 91 1990 +1.5% 10 11 +4.9% 08 -2.8% 2012 +3.2% 09 02 01 2000 99 98 97
