reader Posted Thursday at 02:57 AM Posted Thursday at 02:57 AM From Pattaya News On December 17th, 2024, Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt and key officials held a meeting to address traffic congestion, drug issues, begging, and other social problems to improve order in the city. The meeting focused on six key issues: traffic law enforcement, drug abuse and illegal items like e-cigarettes and sex toys, tackling illegal vendors and beggars, scams targeting tourists around the Grand Palace, the impact of illegal Chinese businesses in areas like Huai Khwang, and land use regulations in districts such as Phaya Thai. Governor Chadchart announced the first model zone will begin along Sukhumvit Road, from Ploenchit Expressway to Phra Khanong intersection, targeting drug-free zones and cracking down on begging, illegal vending, and exploitation of tourists. National Police Chief Pol. Gen. Kitrat Phanphet emphasized the need for stricter enforcement of laws, particularly against illegal businesses, overloaded trucks damaging infrastructure, and organized begging. He noted plans for targeted zoning and joint task forces to address these problems, given limited resources effectively. Quote

Land Use Regulations is referring to the zoning laws assigned to different districts of Bangkok, as show in the land use map below. Phaya Thai district encompasses the area north of Victory Monument, to just south of Chatuchak, including the areas of Ari and Saphan Kwai. The Phaya Thai district is designated as a high density residential zone. vinapu, khaolakguy and 10tazione 1 2 Quote
