History
Construction began on 1 October 2019, with plans of completion by 2021, being pushed back to May 2023 due to delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] It was officially opened on 31 October 2023 by Lao president Thongloun Sisoulith and Thai prime minister Srettha Thavisin.[4] Passenger services are expected to start operation in summer 2024, with a trial scheduled for June.[5][6] A shuttle train is expected to operate between Khamsavath and Nong Khai with four round trips per day. The service may extend to Udon Thani and Nakhon Ratchasima.[7]
