The major challenge of relocating the government is that businesses will likely follow, meaning most Thais will also move, which will lead to a decline in housing and a drop in support for businesses.
Consider also that if they relocate the government and demolish a great deal of the historical buildings, tourism will suffer.
There would be little left for people, and you have to wonder how many hotel chains will still be in Thailand (Bangkok) once that happens.
One thing that is not mentioned is that if Bangkok is going through this, it would not be a significant leap in thought that Pattaya will also be affected, as well as possibly the eastern corridor.
Itis going to be interesting to see
a. if they do anything
b. who does it
c. when do they take it seriously
d. do they use the Louisiana or Dutch method of dealing with it
maybe wee need to be asking the same question as the lae Johnny Cash
