Thailand is gearing up to connect Bangkok to Beijing by train, marking a significant expansion of its railway network. The State Railway of Thailand has announced trial runs scheduled for July 13 and 14, focusing on the route from Bangkok to Vientiane, Laos’ capital. This new link promises improved transportation between Thailand, Laos, and China, according to Ekarat Sriarayanphong, an official from the railway agency.

Once fully operational, travelers will be able to journey from Bangkok to Beijing with stops in Vientiane and Kunming, a city in southern China. The approximately 2,000-mile route includes mountainous terrain, making the journey take nearly a full day. In comparison, a non-stop flight takes just under five hours.

Already, there’s a high-speed train service between China and Laos, facilitating quicker transport of Thai goods to Kunming, cutting delivery times significantly compared to trucking routes.

Beyond enhancing trade, this railway expansion aims to bolster tourism and economic ties between Thailand and China, which is Thailand’s largest trading partner. China’s exports to Thailand and Thailand’s exports to China play crucial roles in their economies.

Moreover, this initiative is expected to benefit the tourism sector, allowing Chinese visitors up to 60 days in Thailand and Thai tourists 30 days in China. Looking ahead, a separate high-speed rail project linking Thailand, Laos, and China is anticipated to be completed by 2028, further boosting connectivity and economic integration in the region.

I did my first solo trip in India with WanderOn. Initially I was sceptical about their Meghalaya-Kaziranga trip as I didn't have any prior experience with them but the team assured me that it's going to be one of the best experiences of my life.

In Ladakh, find the perfect blend of culture, adventure, and serenity. December last year I decided that my next trip would be Ladakh but didn’t know how to go about it. I knew I wanted to travel in a group, as I had prior experiences of traveling in a group but wanted an organiser I could trust. Ladakh isn’t like other destinations wherein you need some instructions due to the high altitudes.

After an amazing trip to Tirthan with WanderOn, I decided to go to Manali-Jispa with them and yet again, the experience was worth every penny. The place was very beautiful and the quality of service was top-notch, the itinerary was very good and the quality of transportation and stays were very good. Had an awesome time there and made some good friends as well. Lastly, our trip captains Priyasha and Rachit managed the entire trip very well and were so fun and made our trip an experience worth remembering.
