The development of the dual-track rail line is prompting some changes to the adjoining streetscape and the demolishment and pending update of some structures.

 

Most recently, municipality and railway officials have met with the operators of commercial premises to manage the need to widen the road adjacent to the new railway station entrance.

 

Some 14 properties are affected and are to be demolished after an inspection of the area taking place of a 100 metre section of the road adjacent to the Railway Station.

 

Reports indicate negotiations with the shop holders have been successful with the properties to be demolished before the end of this year.

 

At the same time, designs for the construction of new buildings along the railway line have been approved.

Mr. Nopporn Wutthikul, that Hua Hin Mayor has asked for the to be widened to be 11 metres wide as a secondary route from Phetchakasim Road for improved traffic management in the city.

 

One building that has already been demolished is a 27 year old structure, previously a military building located at Sarsong intersection, not far from the market in downtown Hua Hin.  The building has not been in use by the army for dome tome with its demise allowing for better traffic management at the intersection.
