BANGKOK, 13 June 2013 The Transport Ministry in cooperation with British organizers of international goods exhibitions will hold Thailand’s first exhibition on locomotive technology and innovations in a bid to push the nation as transportation hub in Asia.
The exhibition, dubbed Exporail Southeast Asia Thailand 2014, will be held from March 12-14, 2014 at the Bangkok International Trade and Exhibition Center in Bang-Na district. The Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand (MRTA) and the State Railways of Thailand (SRT) which are state enterprises under the Transport Ministry will actively work with the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) to ensure smooth holding of the fair.
