A cooperative venture between the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) and the Royal Thai Navy (RTN) to supervise a riverfront walkway project has been launched. The riverfront walkway will connect multiple tourist attractions along the Chao Phraya River on the Thonburi side.

 

Chadchart Sittipunt, the governor of Bangkok, confirmed the BMA’s intention to construct the riverfront walkway, which would extend from Wat Kalayanamit Woramahawihan to Wichai Prasit Fort. The latter is within an RTN compound. The walkway’s construction is set to be discussed next week, following a meeting with the chief of the RTN, Adung Phan-iam.

 

In addition to Wichai Prasit Fort, the RTN compound also includes the Thonburi Palace of King Taksin the Great, another historical attraction. Chadchart acknowledged RTN’s recognition of the project’s importance for facilitating tourist activity while also maintaining the security of their office zone.
