Lang Lang talks roots, rhythm and the beauty of bridging cultures

Lang Lang talks roots, rhythm and the beauty of bridging cultures

Chinese-born pianist Lang Lang has long demonstrated music’s ability to transcend boundaries. With remarkable talent and unwavering passion, he has captivated audiences the world over, performing with leading orchestras such as the Berlin Philharmonic and the Vienna Philharmonic. Beyond the concert hall, Lang Lang extends his artistry across genres, collaborating with musicians as varied as Herbie Hancock, Pharrell Williams and Metallica. His presence has graced the world’s grandest stages – from the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics to the Grammy Awards and the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony.  In a country known for its rich culture and diverse lifestyles, Thailand is home to a growing community of classical music enthusiasts who have long awaited the chance to experience this maestro live. That moment finally arrived thanks to the Royal Bangkok Symphony Orchestra Foundation and B.Grimm, who brought the world-renowned pianist to Bangkok for his debut solo recital. Held on May 31 at Thailand Cultural Centre, the sold-out performance was met with thunderous applause and standing ovations. Before he took to the stage, we sat down with Lang Lang for an intimate conversation. In this rare interview, he opens up about how he protects his greatest instruments – his hands – and what it means to connect cultures through his music. He even reveals which pop icon he'd love to collaborate with and shares a glimpse into life behind the spotlight. As this is your first solo recita
What’s brewing with Chagee’s return to Bangkok?

What’s brewing with Chagee’s return to Bangkok?

It seems Chagee knows Bangkokians can’t get enough of tea – or perhaps the city is craving a little more excitement in its refreshments. Either way, the international tea brand has officially returned to the Big Mango with three stunning locations at Exchange Tower, Park Silom and Vanit Village. And they didn’t hold back when making their comeback. During the grand opening at Park Silom from May 21-23, crowds flocked to experience the sleek new tea bar and sample Chagee's signature blends. But the tea wasn’t the only thing drawing attention. The event was brimming with highlights, including Chagee-branded tuk-tuk installations, mobile tea carts offering free samples, and an exciting ‘Tear & Win’ game. Guests had the chance to win amazing prizes like a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, an iPad Air M3 and exclusive merchandise. This comeback isn’t just about enjoying the classic teas you know and love – it’s about introducing a wave of fresh flavours and surprises. Stay tuned to discover what Chagee has brewed up for Bangkok this time!
Ease, variety and speed: How GrabFood serves expats

Ease, variety and speed: How GrabFood serves expats

It’s no surprise that Thailand holds a reputation as a top tourism hotspot and there’s proof to back it up. The kingdom has been named Travel + Leisure’s 2025 Destination of the Year. With this recognition, it’s natural to see a growing number of expats making their way to the country. One big reason? The food scene. Bangkok was named Time Out’s second-best city for food in 2025 and it’s easy to see why. The city buzzes with street food stalls and upscale international restaurants that showcase its global community.  But it’s not just the capital that shines – other top destinations for expatriates each have their own unique charm. Chiang Mai invites those seeking a relaxed pace with cosy cafes and rich northern Thai flavours. Phuket offers fresh seafood and tropical tastes set against stunning beach backdrops. Pattaya is where local delights sit comfortably alongside international favourites. Together, these cities highlight the diverse lifestyle and rich food culture that make the kingdom a favourite among foreigners. However, as much as we love exploring the food scene, going out for a go-to dish isn’t always easy, especially with traffic, long queues and the magnetic pull of the couch. That’s where GrabFood rides in. *According to a survey by Kantar, GrabFood is the number 1 food delivery app in Thailand (most often used brand in 2024). With their service, expats and locals alike can enjoy scrumptious meals anytime, anywhere – delivered right to their door. Read on to see
Hit the road with Poorboy, Ton’s furry sidekick

Hit the road with Poorboy, Ton’s furry sidekick

When you think of Thai art, you might picture traditional paintings with classic Thai motifs hanging in quiet museums. But there’s so much more going on. Thailand’s art scene is bursting with energy, from galleries to graffiti-covered walls. Street art, in particular, is full of vibrant characters that instantly lift your mood. One of the names to know is Ton – Kasemwit Chaweewat – the artist behind Poorboy, a fluffy white monkey that likes skateboarding. Even if you don’t know Ton by name, you’ve probably seen his work – maybe on a pair of Vans or even a Vespa, where Poorboy often makes an appearance. But he isn’t just a cute character. He was created to tell a deeper story about the world we live in. According to Ton, Poorboy had to leave his forest home – destroyed by humans – and now roams the city, a symbol of a ‘poor child’ displaced by environmental damage. Through this character, Ton tackles big topics like global warming, littering and deforestation. But instead of guilt-tripping his audience, he wraps his message in humour and heart, making it easier for people to connect, reflect and maybe even smile while thinking about the planet. After travelling through all sorts of places, Poorboy is now back in a gallery setting with his latest exhibition, Hit the Road, on view at River City Bangkok until June 15. The show presents works that trace Poorboy’s journey across different landscapes. We caught up with Ton about the concept behind the exhibition and his thoughts on
The 50 best restaurants in Bangkok

The 50 best restaurants in Bangkok

Attempting to put together a list of the 50 best restaurants in Bangkok is an unenviable task. No matter how hard you try, you’re going to be leaving out not just good restaurants, but mind-bendingly good restaurants. Indeed, the process of assembling the following list involved not only signal-boosting some of our favourite culinary craftspeople, but also a painful triage of a host of excellent venues. That’s just how dense with excellence this city is when it comes to quality dining.  What makes eating out here so brilliant is the sheer diversity – both cultural and economic – of the Big Mango’s food scene and our top 50 aims to reflect that. Were we to focus purely on the set-menu avant-garde and quiet-luxury omakase counters, it would be a disservice to a readership that doesn’t just want food to look at, photograph and read about, but wants to eat. Therefore, we include some of the city’s most dazzling palaces of haute cuisine alongside humble streetside vendors. We’re serious eaters more than withering critics, and Bangkok is a city full of serious eats. Hence, we want to share our favourites and leave it to you, the reader, to be the withering critic. Dive in and enjoy the ride!
I went to Macau and didn’t leave THE KARL LAGERFELD MACAU for 48 hours

I went to Macau and didn’t leave THE KARL LAGERFELD MACAU for 48 hours

I decided on Macau and spent 48 hours at THE KARL LAGERFELD MACAU, part of the Grand Lisboa Palace Resort Macau. Just a short flight from Bangkok, this five-star hotel is the only one in the world fully designed by and named after the fashion legend. His signature style is everywhere, from architecture to custom-made furniture and art. The mix of rock-chic vibes and elegant Chinoiserie? Absolutely stunning. As for food and downtime, I had an amazing meal at Mesa by JosÃĐ Avillez and Zuicho, the hotel’s signature restaurant and after a long day of exploring, the spa was exactly what I needed. Two days weren’t nearly enough to take it all in, but here’s a recap of my stay.
Tomo Campbell talks pushing boundaries, inspiration and the magic of Bangkok's art scene

Tomo Campbell talks pushing boundaries, inspiration and the magic of Bangkok's art scene

Bangkok’s art scene just keeps levelling up, with more local and international artists making their mark across the city. This time, it was British artist Tomo Campbell in town – bringing with him a collection of large-scale oil paintings that float somewhere between abstraction and figuration, all wrapped in a soft, joyful palette. Originally set for Thailand’s tallest observatory at King Power Mahanakhon, Campbell’s Over the Top exhibition took a quick detour due to a recent earthquake. It found a new home at The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon, where it was on view for a short run from April 9–11.  Fortunately, we caught up with Campbell while he was in town to chat about his playful use of colour, his process and what he thinks of the Big Mango’s buzzing art energy. If you didn’t get a chance to see his work in person, here’s a peek into his world – and why he’s definitely one to keep an eye on.
Stay hydrated and make the most of Songkran with 'Drink More Water' popsicles

Stay hydrated and make the most of Songkran with 'Drink More Water' popsicles

Bangkok may not have a winter wonderland, but we’ve got something even better – our own kind of summer fun. Sure, the heat can be scorching, but that’s all part of the build-up to Songkran – the water-splashing festival that grabs attention worldwide (and even made its way into The White Lotus season three). As the hottest season of the year hits, it’s the perfect excuse to grab your water guns, hit the streets and make a splash. And let’s be honest, the Songkran party wouldn’t feel complete without a drink or two. But with all the excitement, it’s easy to get carried away – the heat and alcohol combo can leave you feeling wiped out and no one wants dehydration spoiling the fun.  
Bangkok’s hottest splash parties this Songkran

Bangkok’s hottest splash parties this Songkran

Songkran in Bangkok isn’t just a festival – it’s an all-out citywide water battle. Clubs, hotels and department stores are turning up the heat (and the hoses), drenching the Big Mango in non-stop splash parties. With so many events happening at once, choosing where to go can be a challenge. To make things easier, we’ve rounded up the best ways to celebrate this Thai New Year, from high-energy music festivals with world-class DJs to laid-back poolside escapes and family-friendly fun. Grab your tickets and get ready to soak it all in.

Jim’s Terrace One Bangkok

Jim’s Terrace One Bangkok

In a city overflowing with Thai restaurants, many try to stand out by putting a contemporary spin on local flavours. But that’s not the approach at Jim’s Terrace. Instead of reinventing the wheel, this spot leans into tradition, offering a menu devoted to Thai comfort food that feels both refreshingly honest and warmly nostalgic. Located on the second floor of the Jim Thompson Flagship Store at One Bangkok, this venue marks a departure from Jim Thompson, A Thai Restaurant. Though both are helmed by the same executive chef, Wichian ‘Lek’ Trirattanavatin, the two establishments follow very different visions. Here, he doesn’t chase contemporary twists. Instead, he embraces the time-honoured recipes many Thais grew up with – the kind you’d find at the street-side eatery – and brings them into a stylish, sit-down setting without losing their soul. Sure, the dishes might not look exactly like what you’d find at a local stall, as they’re a lot more polished. But the heart of each plate is still the same. Take sai krok Isan, for example, that classic fermented pork sausage you often see sizzling on street corners across the Big Mango. Chef Lek gives it an upgrade by using fragrant garlic from Phetchaburi and top-quality jasmine rice from Sisaket. It’s served with all the familiar sides such as fresh cabbage, ginger, peanuts and herbs – just the way you remember it, only a little more dressed up. When it comes to Thai classics, you just can’t skip curry. And chef Lek doesn’t disappoin
Kalamansi Kafe

Kalamansi Kafe

Bangkok’s food scene just keeps surprising us! Think it couldn’t get any more diverse? Think again. From Italian trattorias and French bistros to fiery Indian curries, the city has it all. But what about the flavours of our neighbours? Can you taste them in the Big Mango? The answer, increasingly, is yes! Take Filipino cuisine, for example. It’s not as widely known as some, but that just means there’s more to discover. Enter Kalamansi Kafe, a cosy spot serving home-style Filipino dishes that’ll have you coming back for more. Curious about adobo or halo-halo? This is your gateway to the Philippines. Located in Soi Suan Phlu, Kalamansi Kafe is named after a citrus fruit central to Filipino cooking.. Its story began during the Covid-19 lockdown when owner Sandy Lopez and her daughters started sharing their roots through delivery meals. What started in their home kitchen soon blossomed into a full-fledged restaurant, thanks to Sandy’s partnership with her sister Glecy, an experienced cook. And just like that, Bangkok gained an inviting new spot to savour the bold, authentic flavours of the Philippines. Step inside, and you’re welcomed with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. It’s as if you’re being greeted by family. Even the decor tells a story—don’t miss the striking painting of a carabao (the national animal of the Philippines), a nod to the country’s heritage and traditions. So, what makes Filipino food so special? It’s the incredible blend of influences – Chinese, Malay, Sp

ONE Championship goes all-in on Bangkok

ONE Championship goes all-in on Bangkok

When it comes to sports that dominate weekend buzz, ONE Championship is always in the spotlight. Since launching in Singapore in 2011, this combat sports powerhouse has exploded onto the global stage, becoming one of the biggest names in martial arts. Though many of its adrenaline-pumping bouts happen in Thailand, the heart of its global operations has stayed in Singapore – until now. Big news: ONE is packing up and heading to Bangkok. That’s right, the capital is about to become the new international production hub of one of the world’s fiercest fight scenes. In a statement posted on their Facebook page on June 30, the company confirmed the relocation of its production hub from the Lion City to the Big Mango. The decision, it said, was driven by rising production demands, improved logistical efficiency and the growing scale of its flagship weekly series, ONE Friday Fights. Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong explained, ‘Over the past two and a half years, Thailand has become central to our global content production. As we continue to scale, this move will allow us to centralise operations and improve coordination while increasing our event and content production capabilities.’ The shift comes as the ONE Lumpinee events continue to fuel Asia’s fight scene, now contributing over B16 billion annually to the Thai economy. The weekly bouts are now broadcast to 195 countries during primetime hours across Asia and the momentum isn’t slowing. A brand-new, traditional five-round Muay
Yuyuan Lantern Festival comes to Bangkok

Yuyuan Lantern Festival comes to Bangkok

Bangkok really is a melting pot of cultures. This year alone, we’ve witnessed all kinds of international exhibitions pop up. But in a city full of people from all over the world, there’s always something new around the corner. And now, for the first time ever, the Big Mango will be lit up by the Yuyuan Lantern Festival.  From June 27 to August 15 at Iconsiam, this large-scale illuminated display celebrates 50 years of diplomatic relations between China and Thailand. Originally held at the historic Yuyuan Garden Malls in Shanghai, the festival also highlights the friendship between Shanghai and Bangkok, which became sister cities in 2016. The capital’s edition carries the theme ‘Spirit of Mountains and Sea’, inspired by the ancient Chinese text Shan Hai Jing (The Classic of Mountains and Seas). This book is a collection of myths, geography and folklore that shares stories of mysterious mountains, vast seas and legendary creatures. For centuries, it has captured the imagination and wonder of generations. Now, the event brings these tales to life through lantern displays and creative installations. One of the highlights is the space itself, designed to reflect Eastern culture and lifestyle. The riverside venue will be transformed into a magical wonderland along the Chao Phraya River, resembling a floating island illuminated with dazzling colours. Each cluster of lanterns represents a mysterious isle, scattered across the ‘Island of Chao Phraya’ and waiting to be explored. Beside
Drink o’clock just got longer in Thailand

Drink o’clock just got longer in Thailand

While the news about cannabis being reclassified as a ‘controlled herb’ might have some people feeling bummed, there’s still something to raise a glass to as Thailand has finally eased restrictions on alcohol sales hours, starting today (June 27).  Back in March, the House of Representatives voted to relax the rules on when alcoholic products can be sold. Now, it’s official: the Royal Gazette published the announcement from the Prime Minister’s Office, signed by Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, confirming the change. This update replaces the old 2015 rules with something a bit more in tune with today’s lifestyle. It was made under the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act 2008 and follows the advice of the National Alcoholic Beverage Policy Committee. But this doesn’t mean these drinks can be sold around the clock. The original time restrictions – 11am to 2pm and 5pm to midnight – still apply nationwide. What’s changed is that three types of venues are now allowed to sell them outside of those hours: Airports: Sales are permitted in airport buildings that serve international passengers. Service establishments: Licensed venues can sell beverages during their legal operating hours. Hotels: Alcohol sales are permitted under the conditions of the Hotel Act. So, while we may not be raising glasses 24/7 just yet, it’s a step closer to more relaxed and practical rules for buying a drink in Thailand.
Is Pilates the new Tinder?

Is Pilates the new Tinder?

Looking for love in a city like Bangkok? You’d think it’d be a breeze! But let’s face it – many people are still flying solo. Dating apps might seem like the answer, but they often lead to ghosting or mismatched vibes. Enter YPS Pilates Club with a fresh, exciting twist: the ‘Night Pilates Blind Date Mat’! This unique event blends love and wellness, helping you connect with others while breaking a sweat. Taking place on June 28 from 6.30pm to 7.30pm at Benchakitti Park, this one-hour session is all about good vibes, movement and maybe even a little spark. Who knows? The person stretching next to you might just be your next crush. But don’t worry if you come alone – there’ll be friendly faces waiting for you. The evening will be guided by certified instructor Kaew Pilates, so whether you're just starting out or already know your way around the mat, you’ll be in good hands. It’s completely free to join. There’s only one fun little guideline: if you’re single, wear black; if you’re taken, wear white. Just don’t forget to bring your own pilates or yoga mat, so you can stretch out and get comfortable on the lawn. At its core, YPS Club aims to make pilates more approachable and inclusive – a space where anyone can come to move, feel better and connect with others. After all, they believe that ‘good health should be accessible to all’. So if dating apps aren’t quite working out, this might be a refreshing change of pace. 
Thailand earns top-tier U.S. travel safety status

Thailand earns top-tier U.S. travel safety status

It’s no secret that Thailand is a global favourite. Every year, travellers from around the world flock here for the rich culture, mouthwatering food and famously warm hospitality. But while the country has always been a dream destination, security can still be top of mind for many. The good news? The kingdom just got a major upgrade – our travel safety rating has officially reached the highest level. According to an announcement by Tourism and Sports Minister Sorawong Thienthong and Deputy Government Spokeswoman Sasikarn Watthanacha, the U.S. Department of State has elevated the nation to level one: ‘Exercise Normal Precautions’ in its latest travel advisory. The U.S. Travel Advisory system ranks places on a scale from one to four, based on assessed safety and security risks for American citizens. A level one rating is the lowest on the scale, indicating no significant threats or widespread concerns. While all international travel involves some degree of risk, this designation means travellers can explore with standard precautions in mind. Previously, the kingdom had been listed at level two: ‘Exercise Increased Caution’. This recent upgrade now places us in the same tier as Canada, Australia, Singapore and Japan. Major tourist spots like Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket and Pattaya are all included in the level one category. However, some southern provinces – including Yala, Pattani, Narathiwat, and parts of Songkhla – remain under a heightened advisory due to ongoing civil unres
Marvel soundtracks assemble with a live symphony orchestra

Marvel soundtracks assemble with a live symphony orchestra

If you had to name a movie almost everyone recognises, chances are something from Marvel Studios would be at the top of the list. From the fan-favourite Iron Man to the epic Avengers: Endgame, the studio has been winning hearts (and breaking box office records) for over a decade. And even though new superheroes keep joining the crew, the original legends are still as iconic as ever. That’s probably why the Royal Bangkok Symphony Orchestra (RBSO) is bringing ‘Marvel Movie Music’ to the stage. It is a journey through the musical scores that shaped the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Happening on June 26-27 at the Thailand Cultural Centre, the event brings those epic soundtracks to life through a full live orchestra, led by RBSO’s resident conductor, Vanich Potavanich. Known for his multifaceted talent, he holds significant roles as music director and conductor for ensembles such as the National Symphony Orchestra and Rangsit Symphony Orchestra, alongside numerous guest conducting engagements both domestically and internationally.   This special evening will feature themes from Iron Man, Black Panther, Captain America, The Avengers and Avengers: Endgame. Whether you’re a Marvel superfan or just love a good orchestral performance, it’s a night not to be missed. Tickets start at B600 via here. Students and seniors aged 60 and above can also enjoy a special 50 percent discount.
Kwai Beer’s bold brews are back

Kwai Beer’s bold brews are back

It won’t come as any great surprise that Bangkokians enjoy their beer. Walk into almost any restaurant and you’ll likely see at least one table with a bottle on it. And in the last decade, craft beer has gone from being a rare niche to a common sight across the capital. Local microbreweries are now producing high-quality ales in a range of styles, including pale ales, IPAs and stouts. Among them is Kwai Beer, which has just relaunched its two flagship ales – and they’re well worth a taste. First launched in 2018, the brand’s name comes from the Thai word for ‘water buffalo’ – a symbol of strength and resilience that holds meaning across many Asian cultures. What really drives them is a love for creating beers that go hand in hand with Southeast Asian food. Their goal is to make ales you’d be proud to share around the table. For everyone from curious newcomers to seasoned beer lovers, Kwai Pale Ale hits all the right notes. It’s an American-style pale ale, striking a nice balance between flavour and refreshment. On the nose and palate, you’ll find bright, zesty aromas of pomelo followed by subtle layers of Assam tea from Chiang Mai While Kwai Pale Ale energises the palate, Kwai Witbier soothes with its gentle and delicate character. It is a Belgian-style white ale with a softer, more fragrant profile. The taste leans into classic witbier hints of orange peel and coriander seed. What sets it apart is the addition of magnolia flowers sourced from Chiang Mai, which give the beer

With F1 bid greenlit, Thailand revs in pole position

Ever since whispers began about Thailand becoming the next host of the world’s premier motorsport, momentum has been building at full throttle. Now, following Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra’s headline-grabbing appearance at Circuit de Monaco, that dream is gaining serious traction. With the Thai cabinet approving a B40 billion bid to host a Grand Prix in Bangkok, the chequered flag is now one step closer. According to Tourism and Sports Minister Sorawong Thienthong, the high-octane bid would secure the country’s spot on the F1 world stage for five action-packed years from 2028.And when it comes to where the rubber will meet the road, government spokesman Jirayu Houngsub revealed that the race is set to take place in and around Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal. The 5.7 km street circuit will wind from Chatuchak Park to the terminal, with additional sections running through the Mo Chit 2 bus terminal, Chatuchak Market area, Queen Sirikit Park and the PTT Plc headquarters. Hosting the event would require the entire area to be shut down for five days each year to allow for race preparations. While that may cause temporary disruptions for nearby residents, the government is confident the economic payoff would be well worth it, with officials estimating the event could break even within its first year. While the 24-race calendar is locked in years ahead, Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali has hinted that shake-ups are coming and the kingdom is racing up the ranks as a serio

J-Hope’s ‘Killin’ It Girl’ keeps Bangkok in the spotlight

J-Hope’s ‘Killin’ It Girl’ keeps Bangkok in the spotlight

Is Bangkok becoming the next big hotspot for music video production? It sure seems like it! BTS’s J-Hope just dropped his latest music video, ‘Killin’ It Girl’, on June 13, and guess what? It was filmed right in the heart of the Big Mango! Featuring American rapper GloRilla, this track racked up an incredible 5.2 million in the first 17 hours.  Directed by Cody Critcheloe – yep, the same guy behind hits for Katseye, Kim Petras, and Robyn  – alongside powerhouse  producers Cirkut, Inverness and Blake Slatkin, the video is a fresh take on first love. Thai fans are buzzing about the iconic local spots featured throughout the video. From bustling streets to local landmarks, Bangkok takes centre stage once again – and we’re here for it. But this isn’t a one-time thing. Over the past few years, the city’s landmarks have been showcased to global audiences through music videos – Lisa’s ‘Rockstar’ was filmed in the heart of Chinatown, Troye Siva’s ‘Got Me Started’ shaded the colours of the drag scene in Silom, and Aespa transformed Chong Nonsi into a cyberpunk world in ‘Supernova’. Bangkok is practically a star in its own right!   Photograph: Hybe Labels For ‘Killin’ It Girl’, J-Hope’s team chose two standout locations: the eerie yet captivating Oscar Apartment on Phetchaburi Road – famous from the Thai horror film Buppah Rahtree – and Ho Saengchai Market in Pathum Thani. Yellow taxis, street food stalls and shop signs in Thai script create a rich, authentic vibe. With Umoon Product
Thailand’s three-airport rail project is back on track

Thailand’s three-airport rail project is back on track

Travelling in Thailand means discovering something special at every turn and the eastern coastline is no exception. With beautiful islands and beaches tucked away in provinces such as Pattaya, Chonburi and Rayong, you don’t even have to venture all the way south to find a seaside escape. However, getting there from Bangkok's airports can still take hours by road. That's why, back in 2019, the Thai government launched an ambitious high-speed rail project designed to link these three major airports – Don Mueang, Suvarnabhumi, and U-Tapao – to improve access and cut travel times. But just as things were picking up speed, the pandemic brought everything to a halt. The original public-private partnership (PPP) agreement, signed in October 2019, was disrupted by the global economic downturn. The private consortium leading the initiative, Asia Era One, faced financial setbacks due to shrinking confidence from lenders and the mounting risks of large-scale infrastructure investments. As a result, key obligations, including payments for the rights to operate the Airport Rail Link (ARL) couldn’t be met. Still, that wasn’t the end of the line. Over the past few years, the government and its private partners have been working behind the scenes to revise the terms and address financial challenges to get the plan back on track. Now, after nearly five years, there's finally light at the end of the tunnel. In March 2025, the State Railway of Thailand board approved a revised joint investment
