Report Lumpini Park's Hawker Centre to Launch in 2026

This initiative promises to transform the area on Ratchadamri Road, adjacent to the verdant Lumpini Park, enhancing the orderliness and safety of street food vending. The BMA spokesman, Aekvarunyoo Amrapala, announced the construction began on 27 June, led by the Department of Public Works. Once completed, this dedicated hub will welcome street food vendors currently operating on nearby pedestrian walkways, aiming to boost cleanliness and safety standards. "This hawker centre will not only elevate Bangkok's street food hygiene and safety but also support low-income vendors by providing a stable trading venue," Amrapala highlighted. Importantly, priority will be given to vendors displaced by prior sidewalk reorganisation on Sarasin Road, thus securing them a reliable income source. The centre, operational from 5am to midnight, will serve a dual shift system—5am to 4pm, followed by 4pm to midnight—catering to both early risers and night-time diners. Accommodating up to 88 vendors per shift, each stall will be a compact 2×2 metres, nestled within a thoughtfully designed building featuring natural ventilation and a low-reflective roof, reducing light intrusion on the nearby King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital. Notably, this initiative aligns with wider urban improvements. Deputy Bangkok governor Wisanu Subsompon has announced plans for significant sidewalk upgrades in the upcoming fiscal year. These improvements target major roads and access routes to BTS stations, creating a one-kilometre walkable radius around each station, enhancing pedestrian accessibility. Originally, the city set a target to upgrade 1,000 kilometres of sidewalks by 2026. To date, an impressive 963 kilometres have been completed, setting the stage for the city’s ambitious pedestrian-friendly transformations. This hawker centre signifies a pivotal moment for Bangkok, blending tradition with modern urban planning. Ideally, it will become a vibrant hub that honours the rich street food legacy while promoting improved standards and accessibility. With construction underway and strategic plans unfurling, Bangkok's culinary landscape is poised for a significant uplift, promising enriched experiences for locals and tourists alike.

question about solar panel life span and total output
Maybe this can help a bit. The higher the temperature on the panels, the lower the output gets. On a sunny day you will have (never measured) I guess around 50°C on the panels. That would be around 15% less output if I remember correctly. -

UK-Politics 25 Lies - How is Starmer still in office
No. If you inherit a desolate country and financial situation you can't solve the problems within a year or two. The times when manna was raining from heaven are over. And your deflection shows the common Tory propaganda. And it works on you. -

Wrong. Those whose income is high enough to get taxed on SS benefits are paying the tax on those benefits back into the SS fund.
