The decree gives Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand a mandate to develop the lines, although no timeframe was given.

The royal approval was issued on April 4, effective immediately.

The projects include the Chiang Mai LRT Red Line (Airport - Chinag Mai University - International Convention Centre) and the Chiang Mai LRT Green Line (Mae Jo - Kad Luang - Airport).
