It would be nice yes. But there are railway lines in existance which connect major towns and cities.

There's also that 6 lane express way which links countries like Thailand and China together.

It's coming along........just give us time!

Soon our underground will be well established in BKK and all will be well! embarassedlaugh.gif

There are Maglev train in Germany and Japan? I thought only China has it, the technology is from Germany but Germany cant afford it. (yet?)

first of all, it is very expensive to build. plus it require a lot of land to be used for it to be built so the government may have to pay out compensation to farmer lands or whatever the rail lines happened to cross over, if they are intended to go from changwat to changwat.
plus it is expensive to maintain, require to train a lot of skilled workers to operate the train and then to make up for the losses, the government may have to charge the passenger a pricey ticket which low class, some of middle class might not be able to afford.
