Community Bangkok Upgrades Over 1,100 Kilometres of Pavements, Plans 340 More in 2026
Picture courtesy of Naewna. The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has completed upgrades to over 1,100 kilometres of footpaths across the city and plans to improve an additional 340 kilometres in 2026, focusing on major roads and key alleyways, especially those near public transport hubs. Mr. Wisanu Subsompon, Deputy Governor of Bangkok, said the 2026 budget would prioritise high-traffic areas in both inner and outer districts. Key improvements will target alleyways leading to BTS and MRT stations, ensuring pedestrian-friendly access within a one-kilometre radius of each station to facilitate smoother commuting. The standardised upgrades include levelling access points to buildings with adjacent pavements and using reinforced concrete with wire mesh surfacing to ensure durability and safety. According to the Department of Public Works (DPW), the city has followed the 2022 pavement standards guidelines. Since its implementation, 963 km of pavements have been upgraded from 2022 to 2024, with an additional 139 km completed in 2025, totalling 1,102 km. The 2026 plan to improve a further 340 km includes: • Full street-wide upgrades, • Enhancements around train stations, • Works along the BKK Trail pedestrian routes, • Restoration of pavements previously dug up by utility providers, • Spot repairs based on inspections and public complaints. Projects already underway or planned include: • Sukhumvit Soi 50 from Khlong Khang to Khlong Bang Chak (Khlong Toei District), • Kamphaeng Phet 6 Road from Bang Sue Tunnel to the Bangkok border (Chatuchak, Lak Si, and Don Mueang Districts), • Suvarnabhumi 4 Road from Lat Krabang Road to Khlong Nong Prue (Lat Krabang District), • Songprapa Road from Boonanan Market to Nawong Prachapatthana Road (Don Mueang District), • Somdet Phra Pinklao and Borommaratchachonnani Roads from Pinklao Bridge to the city limits (Bangkok Noi and Bang Phlat Districts), • Luang Phrot Phitthayaphat Road from Hua Takhe Station to Khlong Prawet Burirom (Lat Krabang District), • Bang Khun Thian-Chai Thale Road from Khlong Bang Khamoi to Khlong Yai Phian (Bang Khun Thian District). Construction is being closely monitored to ensure compliance with quality standards and contractual terms. The city says these improvements are part of its broader strategy to make Bangkok more walkable, accessible and connected for all residents. Adapted by Asean Now from Naewna 2025-07-30 -

Crime Human Skull and Bones Unearthed at Coconut Plantation Site in Samut Songkhram
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A village headwoman in Samut Songkhram province reported a grim discovery while preparing land for a coconut plantation, a human skull and jawbone, along with scattered skeletal remains, were found on a 20-rai plot of land in the Tha Had subdistrict. The remains were uncovered by residents working to clear the area, which was previously overgrown. The discovery was reported to Pol. Lt. Chutima Banchongpru, an investigator from Mueang Samut Songkhram Police Station, who immediately dispatched forensic officers to the site. At the scene, authorities found fragments of a human skull, broken into approximately 12 pieces and parts of a human jawbone scattered across the land. The remains were located in a field being converted for the cultivation of aromatic coconuts. Ms Phongphan Chommai, the village head of Moo 1, explained that the land had once been a dense, unused plot. Over the past six months, efforts had been made to clear and develop it into agricultural use. A local villager initially spotted the jawbone while searching for crabs, prompting a full investigation. Initial examination of the remains suggested they were extremely old, likely buried or exposed for at least 30 years. Police found no old records of missing persons in the area. Authorities also noted the possibility that the bones may have come from soil used to fill the land during its preparation. Forensic teams have taken the skeletal fragments for analysis to try to confirm identity and origin. The investigation is ongoing as police work to determine the circumstances surrounding the mysterious find. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-07-30 -

Accident Lorry Carrying Chickens Causes Eight-Vehicle Pile-Up in Chachoengsao
Picture courtesy of SiamRath A ten-wheeled lorry transporting 2,500 live chickens caused a dramatic eight-vehicle pile-up during rush hour in Chachoengsao province on the morning of 29 July, after its brakes reportedly failed while approaching a busy intersection. Over 30 people were affected, including schoolchildren, government employees and medical personnel going to work,but miraculously, no one suffered life-threatening injuries. The crash occurred at approximately 07:30 at the Robinson Junction traffic lights on Route 314 (Chachoengsao–Bang Pakong), near Municipal School No. 2 and the turnoff to Thep Khunakorn Road leading to Wat Sothon. According to police investigators, the lorry driver lost control of the vehicle while descending a flyover and ploughed into a queue of vehicles waiting at the lights. Among the eight vehicles damaged were a Toyota Alphard, BMW sedan, several pickups, including two converted for school transport, a BYD electric vehicle, a Honda Civic and the ten-wheeled lorry itself, registered in Saraburi. The impact left several cars stacked up and some forced onto the central reservation, with school vans taking the brunt of the collision. Nine students were in one of the school pickups at the time, with another three in a second. Dashcam footage captured the moment the crash occurred, showing vehicles being violently struck and children being pulled from wreckage under a collapsed roof. Fortunately, most children sustained only bruises or minor injuries. The most serious case involved a 15-year-old student named Ratchanon, who suffered a significant arm injury. The driver, 35-year-old Mr. Ittiphat from Prachinburi province, later offered a tearful apology at the local police station to the injured boy’s father. He explained that he had been transporting poultry from a Chonburi farm to a slaughterhouse in Minburi, Bangkok, and that his vehicle’s brakes had been working normally earlier in the journey. However, as he approached the intersection, he claimed the brake pedal failed entirely. “It felt like pressing into empty space,” he said. “I heard a hissing sound, like air escaping. I believe the air brake system failed and the brakes didn’t grip.” Attempting to reduce the damage, he swerved into the rightmost lane, which was less crowded. The crash caused massive disruption, and those involved, including many civil servants on their way to work, later gathered at Chachoengsao City Police Station to give statements. Local police have launched a full investigation into the mechanical failure and the roadworthiness of the vehicle. The incident, while serious, is being hailed as a narrowly averted mass casualty disaster. Adapted by Asean Now from SiamRath 2025-07-30 -
