In order to improve the area’s appeal, the state has ordered the evacuation of the 32-rai Bangkok Port next to the Chao Phraya River in Klong Toey area.
According to a source, the Cabinet Secretariat on April 4 had distributed a letter signed by Thawatchai Chanpaisansil, an adviser to the Cabinet Secretariat in his capacity as the cabinet’s acting acting acting acting secretary-general, to the ministries of transport, interior, Bangkok, metropolitan administration, and the port authority of Thailand ( PAT ). The letter addressed the cabinet’s decision to move Bangkok Port out of the capital at past Tuesday’s meeting.
In the letter, it was stated that Srettha Thavisin, the prime minister, had suggested moving the dock at the pantry meeting on April 2. As the government works to reduce the amount of dust waste brought on by transport vehicles entering and leaving Bangkok Port every day, he claimed, Klong Toey Port’s transfer will be beneficial for those who reside in the area as well as the capital as a whole.
The government then instructed the Tickle and other organizations to work together to move forward with a relocation feasibility study. Moving all infrastructure, including warehouses and oil storage facilities, is also covered by the port’s relocation purchase.
The Ministry of Transport, PAT, BMA, and associated agencies have to work to document a growth plan after the relocation to address various issues in the area, such as slum community problems, traffic congestion, and dust pollution, the source said.
The area should be mainly used for Bangkokians’ common good, and the findings of the study should be made available to the Prime Minister as soon as possible.
The Prime Minister wanted to improve the quality of life in the Klong Toey neighborhood, but he did not want the port to be in the interior Bangkok because that would lead to numerous issues, including the increase in smaller debris particles from vessel trucks, according to the cause.
When the two met at City Hall in February, Bangkok government Chadchart Sittipunt had recently suggested and discussed this subject with the perfect secretary.
The source claimed that the top understood that it was urgent to investigate the situation.
The BMA wants to convert Bangkok Port to Chon Buri’s Laem Chabang deep-sea interface. It aims to improve air quality and make the area a clean place for city dwellers.
