Bidding for the two double-track railway projects worth 128 billion baht in the North and Northeast could be marred by alleged irregularities, a seminar was told.
The issue was discussed during an online seminar held by the Anti-Corruption Organisation of Thailand (ACT) on Thursday.
At the centre of the controversy are the 323-kilometre northern section from Den Chai to Chiang Rai's Chiang Kong and the 355-km northeastern section between Khon Kaen's Ban Phai and Nakhon Phanom.
The Den Chai-Chiang Khong project, valued at 72.9 billion baht, is made up of three construction contracts while the northeastern Ban Phai-Nakhon Phanom route, worth 55.4 billion baht, has been split into two contracts.
