This project has been initiated by KIDP(Korea Institute of Design Promotion) as ‘international design sharing business’ in order to share and exchange design capability and foster competences.
This topline report provides strategic direction and viable implementation plan for Thailand railway service, adopting service design approach and methodologies.
This project has been mutually conducted in conjunction with TCDC from project planning, research to strategic planning.
The objective of this project is to; provide overall direction in redefining to rep
osition Thai railway service for the following 20 years. In order to achieve this goal, system(infra) for the public service and profit generating model and service(model) experience have to be developed to make various service providers and users mutually exchange values and create eco system around railway service.

POSITIONING
Risk increases when new
services and user segments
need to be invested. Thus,
‘Transportation Hub’ where
risk remains at the lowest
level but with highest level of
urgency in recovering its
service quality, should be
implemented initially.
Strategic direction should
gradually expand to long-term
plan where railway
service is defined with new
public values.
‘Transportation Hub’, the
strategic direction with the
lowest risk level, should be
implemented as the first
strategic plan by ‘recovering
’ core elements of railway
service
‘Culture Hub’, placed upper
/ later on the positioning
matrix, should be
implemented strategically
when Thai railway service is
functionally structured and
fit with strong profit models

Space containing ‘raw’ identity
‘Raw’ means honesty and truth. Considering Thailand’s current
transitional period, space should capture Thailand’s essence and
tradition, establishing its innate identity.
Various user segments become storytellers
Various visitors to the railway service become storytellers to create
their own stories and covey them to others. Space naturally and
spontaneously invite users to interact within the space in their own
way. By seamless flow of moving line along with visible and clear

Applying flexibility by embracing diversity
Users should be able to notice without much efforts how to adopt
oneself to the space and activities occurred within. Depending on
the amount and density of population within the space, users will
automatically change their way of behaviors and interaction. By zo
ning the space flexibly and systemically, reflecting demand, it
should eliminate dead space or dense spots in the space.
Utilizing easily manageable modularization
Space should be planned simply and flexibly arranged to be able t
o be organic to the changes. For this reason, standardized measur

Physical and systemic connectivity
Railway is a symbol of connectivity; it should be the medium for
diverse connectivity of not only physical surroundings (other
transportation, facilities, commercial area and cities) but also
systemic environment (other related industries and infrastructure). MI
CE is the growing industry where railway could play a significant role
in connecting people, facilities and tourism industry.
Shelter basecamp for the public
In the near future, railway system is likely to be automatized by IT.
Then, its space will no longer needed to be facilitated as the existing
station. Station should play a role of ‘hub’ for the public welfare so
people could benefit from diverse ‘connectivity’.

functional values, meaning
building fundamental base;
profit generation model

convergence with
commercial facilities, other

Freight warehouse will create di
verse job opportunities
(operation, delivery, etc.).
Also considering there will be
high level of floating population,
it could be used as job posting
searching center for the local,
particularly for seniors.
Expanded and specialized OTOP market will
generate various tour programs and local
business opportunities for derivative services.
Furthermore, it could bring education system
focusing on developing cultural contents in
combination with ICT. It could provide an
opportunity to students in various regions, pla
cing regional quota for selecting students. It
will provide social and public service in
educating the next generation of Thailand.

Strategic

STRATEGIC
PLAN
Considering various perspectives of socio economical context of Thailand, railway
service must consider social and public value of ‘diversity’ and interpret it into
‘differentiation’. Different types of users must be accepted as they are but should be
served under standardized service system tolerating flexibility. Same stories will be
told but will be interpreted and retold in their own way.
Public service absorbing social
diversity will evoke government and
society to defy social wickedness
and discrimination.
Strong revenue streams and business
models will generate other business
opportunities expanding boundaries of
railway service.
Railway service will become standard for public
service and social system. Its IT adopted system
will call for automation of fundamental services
while human resources will be led to research
and perform Thai’s unique and differentiated
services.
