Chao Phraya boardwalks may never happen: Bangkok Gov

Chao Phraya River.

 

BANGKOK — Bangkok’s governor said Monday that on-again-off-again plans to build a concrete promenade along the Chao Phraya River will likely be discontinued.

 

City Hall said it is still unable to find a contractor to build the boardwalks between the Rama VII Bridge to the Dusit district and Bang Phlat canal that were green-lit several months ago as bidding hasn’t been approved, adding that the government could backtrack on the plan due to widespread public disapproval as elections are approaching.

Never going to be a smart move, of course most of the residents have been conveniently removed.

It would have been another big waste of taxpayers money,

when  there are so many other things that need improving

in Bangkok,some of these big projects can be more about

commissions,than actually been of use to the population.

They are unable to find a contractor because no Thai company wants to do the job ! Simple as that.  They wouldn't even have the gear to do the piling, which would me a long job. A total waste of time and money.  Nobody wants it.

Probably wouldn't have been wide enough to give you space to dodge the motorcycle taxis anyway.

If they  can't find a contractor they should pay more....or hire one from abroad.
