I completely agree with the importance of a modern railway system to facilitate travel and trade. Unfortunately, here on the island of Phuket, we don't have a train station as the island is not connected to the railway network. It's really a shame, as it could help reduce traffic congestion and offer a more affordable travel option. The nearest station with a rail connection to Bangkok is in Surat Thani, about 275 km to the west, which is quite far for those who wish to take the train. It would be great to see Phuket connected to the railway network someday!

Hello, It will be good if your place there would have a train system and maybe if Thailand would get to be more wealthy as a nation in my opinion they would consider it. However your your place might be better without train system because it is just small and the return on investment by making a train system would not that be much profitable if not the time to return on investment will be long.

But definitely, a train system between islands of attraction in Thailand will boost the tourism economy but it may very well kill the local transportation economy like boat transportation which also contributes a lot for Thailand's revenue generation.
