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. SRTs fleet is ageing with more than 60% of locomotives at least 30 years old. The ageing fleet and
track 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 of
corruption 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 parliaments approval of the governments THB 2.0 trillion Infrastructure Investment Program. 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 capacity

Opportunities With strong FDI policies in place, Thailand holds many opportunities for future foreign investments
COUNTRY OVERVIEW
Source: Team analysis
Description
As the 2nd biggest economies in the ASEAN region, Thailand is a good gateway to the rest of the region
One of the key priorities in the actualization of AEC is ASEAN connectivity. Future rail networks will connect the entire region with linkages to special economic zones and ports
Realization of the ASEAN Economic Community in 2015
Thailands modal shift from road to rail transport
Under the government infrastructure investment program of THB 2.0 trillion, more than 80% is allocated to railways
The key focus of this program is to cause a modal shift from road to rail transport in order to increase the efficiency of freight transport and to decrease overall logistics cost in the country
Strong upward trend in passenger ridership for mass transit trains in Bangkok
High rankings for ease of doing business
According to a survey for the ease of doing business (2013) conducted by World Bank, Thailand ranked 18th globally and 3rd in ASEAN
Availability of highly skilled labor Thailand is well located to facilitate cargo transportation as it has access to
multiple sea ports. Future improvements of railway to enhance logistics will further push Thailand to be the logistics hub of ASEAN
Currently underdeveloped rail infrastructure
Despite strong rankings in quality of roads and air transport, Thailand is behind in railway developments
This offers many opportunities for railway solution providers to offer their products, not just for new infrastructure development, but also for upgrades of existing tracks and rolling stock

STATE RAILWAY OF THAILAND (SRT)
Gradual increase
Source: Ministry of Transport; 30 July 2013
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

Freight transport via rail shows a positive long-term trend, but a negative trend in recent years
63
STATE RAILWAY OF THAILAND (SRT)
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

STATE RAILWAY OF THAILAND (SRT) In addition to SRTs ageing fleet, poor track maintenance is cited as another major causes of various recent rail accidents
1
Between the start of the year and Sept 13, 114 trains have derailed, or 11 every month on average, compared with 89 derailments in the whole of 2012.
the frequency of trains jumping tracks has risen sharply in recent months
The problem has been attributed to ageing tracks and sleepers. Some 64% of the SRT's 4,043km of tracks are at least 38 years old, and 31% of the sleepers are wooden
--Bangkok Post, 16 September 2013
State railway struggles to stay on track
Seven out of ten train coaches derailedat least 30 passengers were injured, one of them seriously
second derailment on the same route in a monthdue to the deteriorated condition of a bend in the tracks

Management issues have stunted the development of SRT
71
conflicts among senior management have persisted for a long time and are compounding the state railway's administrative woes
Deputies were not cooperating with the governor, which led to certain key projects being stalled. Some senior executives thought if they were productive, the governor would take the credit for their achievements
[SRT governor Prapas Chongsanguan] admitted many tracks and trains were in bad shape and it would cost about 70 billion baht to bring the tracks alone up to standard.
There is a limited budget to repair and maintain tracks, [Prapas] said, and bureaucratic red tape was also holding back the execution of policies.

SRT has been struggling with financial losses since 1987, generating concern over its ability to manage future expansion projects
72
STATE RAILWAY OF THAILAND (SRT) 3
its accumulated loss until the second quarter of this year amounted to over 75 billion baht now.
Only in the second quarter of this year, the SRT suffered 1.55 billion baht operation loss, while expenditures exceeding revenues of over 3.68 billion baht in the second quarter this year.
Meanwhile its total debt also increases gradually and by the second quarter of this year, the total debt reaches 101 billion baht, compared to 102.9 billion baht end of last year.
--Thai PBS, 22 November 2013
Of the THB 2.0 trillion Infrastructure Investment program, SRT will be responsible for handling investment in the rail system of up to 71%
The National Institute of Development Administration (NIDA) has questioned the capability of SRT to implement mega high-speed train project due to large financial losses for the past decade

Thailand will be the first ASEAN country to have high speed trains
The [2.0 trillion baht] investmentwould help reduce logistics costs by up to 13.2%, [Mr. Chadchat] said. Currently, logistics costs make up about 15.2% of gross domestic product, compared to 8.3% in the United States.
(Bangkok Post, 23 Jan 2013)
Mr Chadchat insisted the high-speed train project could yield high returns, despite some academics' claims it would be uneconomic. The construction of high-speed rail routes stretching 1,400km would cost 780 billion baht, compared with the cost of building just 200km of electric train routes in Bangkok which would come to 400 billion baht.
(Bangkok Post, 30 Jul 2013)
In 2020, Thailand would be the first country in ASEAN to have high-speed trains, he said, which should remind the general public of the pride a century ago when Thailands train service was the most advanced in Asia. (The Nation, 8 Aug 2013)
The government's own consultants did a study that bravely showed the line would earn a rate of return of 10.7 per cent, significantly below the ministry's 12-per-cent minimum. Former Bank of Thailand governor MR Pridyathorn Devakula quoted a study showing that fares on some routes would have to exceed plane fares to be financially feasible. (The Nation, 4 Sept 2013)
