The Transport Ministry insists that Bangkok Port is not to be removed, but that it intends to restore the area’s underdeveloped areas and create’smart communities’.

On Wednesday, Deputy Transport Minister Manaporn Charoensri provided details on the government’s plans to construct an pleasure advanced at Bangkok Port, also known as Klong Toey Port.

She claimed that since Srettha Thavisin was in office, she has repeatedly stated that the government has previously adopted a policy to travel the port, and that it is only looking to improve its conditions for improved water transport and logistics operations.

The deputy minister saidBangkok Portis located on 2,353 rai of land, and some parts do not serve a useful purpose or generate value.

The Transport Ministry is developing a strategy to make the most of these parcels of land, according to Ms. Manaporn.

She claimed that the government would certainly relocate all of it despite the fact that it is planning to construct an entertainment complex at the dock.

Rather, it is turning the port into a “big harbor” by expanding its potential for more delivery, building a sports complex, moving people into high-rise houses, and improving the transportation system in the area, she said.

After today’s government policy statement is delivered to parliament, details of the plans to construct an entertainment complex and some areas of the port will be decided. The Transportation Ministry and a number of other organizations will talk about the plan after that, according to Ms. Manaporn.

The Port Authority of Thailand intends to start mixed-use projects at Bangkok Port in order to” smart communities” where Klong Toey district residents will reside in tall buildings and transform areas surrounding the port into a hub for transportation and facilities.
