Residents of Bangkok’s Phaya Thai neighborhood are urging the State Railway of Thailand ( SRT ) to give them 10 % of its 500-rai Makkasan land before the start of a high-speed rail project connecting three airports.
The terminals are Don Mueang in Bangkok, Suvarnabhumi in Samut Prakan, and U-Tapao in Rayong.
The government approved a accommodation development project for low-income residents in the city’s affected communities in March of last year.
The SRT, the Ministry of Social Development, Human Security, and the Community Organization Development Institute may implement the plan.
More than 100 homes in his group will be impacted by the aircraft website initiative, according to Chao Kerdaree, head of the Bun Romsai group in Phetchaburi Soi 5.
Most of the people in the city are from north and have unusual jobs there, he said, not to mention that they are unable to find affordable housing. Some of them have lived on the SRT’s area as tenants for 60 times, he said.
According to him, the people are today urging the SRT to move them to another Makkasan area tale. ” We are lower-income workers, we do not know where we should proceed to but we urge SRT to dedicate about 10 % of the SRT’s 500-rai Makkasan area for us to live that legally”, he said. ” We are willing to give book at a low cost.”
About 87 communities are living in her society, according to Jiraporn Phumpanya, chairman of the railroad group behind Decha Hospital in the Phaya Thai place, and are waiting for money from the SRT to move to another location.
She even anticipates that they will relocate to Makkasan this time.
We would like state organizations to build a community because it would allow us to receive assistance from numerous [city ] agencies, she said, “if we were to relocate to a new leased property belonging to the SRT in the Makkasan region.”
