Transport Ministry: BKK-Chiang Mai high speed rail ready by 2018 : National News Bureau of Thailand:
"Transport Minister Jarupong Ruangsuwan has disclosed that Thailand and China have agreed to conduct a feasibility study on the country’s first high-speed rail project. With Chinese experts surveying the planned route of the Bangkok-Chiang Mai high speed rail construction, which spans over 745 km, it has been suggested that the railway should be constructed to support a velocity of 250-300 km/hour while focusing on passenger transportation.

ED: Sounds OK but the air services from Chiang Mai are already very good and as for 2018, that might be more than a little optimisitc!
