The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) plans to open more “15- minute” parks this year to provide city residents with nearby recreational spaces.

 

According to Pornphrom Vikitsreth, an advisor to the Bangkok governor, the “15-minute” park project is an answer to the shortage of big parks in the city and provides green areas which are a short walking distance from communities, so people can use them for recreation or to take their pets (where pets are not banned).

 

Pornphrom said yesterday (Monday) that the BMA has already acquired 107 plots of land, which can be transformed into public parks and which are within a 15-minute walk fromsurrounding communities.

5 minutes small talk to get to know each other and.....

Quite happy with this governor. The city lags other cities in terms of green space and this is an appreciated addition.
