Bangkok Governor announces major street overhaul to tackle urban issues 

Bangkok's Governor Chadchart Sittipunt is spearheading a major revamp of the city’s streets to tackle ongoing urban challenges. Key issues include poorly maintained roads due to water pipe installations, outdated green light poles causing pedestrian hazards, and traffic bottlenecks at Sukhumvit Soi 23. Plans include refurbishing light poles and securing underground wiring to prevent theft and malfunctions. Chadchart also aims to widen roads and improve pedestrian pathways by removing obstructions, while enforcing stricter rules against illegal parking to ease congestion and improve safety.
