Park being developed next to 7/11 and close to Salsa Kitchen on second ring road

[DrPhibes]

There is quite the nice park at about 2/3rds development at that location.  Anyone know anything about it?

It's owned by the developers of Tanavan Village , on both sides

of the road , they have just turned it into park / tree nursery to

avoid paying empty land tax on the plot, when / if they start to 

build houses again they will use the land.

Ya, I saw the other park heading East on the other side of the road. Awful lot of park development just to make it look used.  Most people I have seen have just planted a ton of coconut trees and took care of them just enough to sell the land.  Wife chimed in that those guys also owned a good chunk of second ring road properties and that they were just paying back the community for their good fortunes.

The "park" has actually been there for some time now, 3 years maybe??. When they moved the tree nursery it became a popular spot to exercise.  I used to walk there in the evenings. But recently they have made it look much nicer by doing some landscaping.

Yes it is beginning to look much more like a planned park and less like the overgrown weed patch that it has been for years. It remains to be seen how much more development is going to take place.

 

All we need now is for 7/11 to start keeping its frontage clean. It is an absolute mess of discarded food containers, drinks cups, old masks etc. They don't even have a litter bin so that the few decent patrons can dispose of garbage responsibly. And the Bangkok Bank ATM is so filthy it is unusable if you value your health.

Ya, there is some kind of tower structure going in over the last couple of months also.  Shaping up to be a nice park and just within walking distance for us and the wee one (digs rock hopping around the pond).  Agree on 7/11 cleaning up it's act and ya, that BKK bank AMT there is grody (accumulated grease from the guys cooking near it?).

Talk to a local Bangkok Bank Branch Manager and let him/her know the ATM situation and I bet they would remedy it.

 

7/11 is CP which could be contacted probably via a customer service route on their website?

 

Both big companies who would be unlikely to risk their reputations by inaction.
