The promenade along the banks of Klong Phadung Krung Kasem, one of the three canals that run through Rattanakosin Island, will be improved, according to a plan developed by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration( BMA ).
Wisanu Sapsompol, the deputy governor, announced on Monday that the mall would connect the channel to Klong Bang Lamphu, also referred to as Kulong Ong Ang, andKlong Khu Muang.
The Department of Lands has been tasked with measuring the area along the river from Saphan Khao to Klong Saen Saep in preparing for the works, according to advisor to Bangkok government Torsak Chotimongkol.
According to Mr. Wisanu, the switch should be finished by the end of the quarter.
The beach, which is regarded as the center of Bangkok’s Old Town neighborhood, will be improved, according to the sheriff government.
In order to extend the energy commuter boat route that now travels along Klong Phadung Krung Kasem, these improvements include widening the clearance beneath the bridge over the city of Bangkok Noi and allowing larger boats to go along the canal.
He claimed that the promenade would increase local tourism activities and increase the number of passengers on the canal’s energy vessel route, which resumed normal service in March after being shut down in 2022.
The company is now available to the general public every moment, with vessels departing every 20 minutes on weekdays between 6am and 7pm and every minute from 8am to 7PM on weekends.
He claimed that the ships could be rented out for personal journeys from Bang Lamphu’s Klong Phadung Krung Kasen to the same location.
After the mall is over, interest in the outings may increase, according to deputy governor Sanon Wangsrangboon. The BMA may carry a winter event along the river in December, he added, adding that the trips may be expanded this month.
