Bangkok issues news rules on the use of public footpaths

BANGKOK: – The Bangkok municipal authorities have told

government departments and private agencies that they must seek permission

before digging up public footpaths.

Any agency or authority installing phone lines, electricity or water supply

and want to renovate or install new facilities on or under Bangkok’s public

footpath, now needs to have government permission.

Under the new regulations, departments and agencies must also submit their

renovation plans in detail, with all relevant layouts and designs, to the

Bangkok department of public works.

The Bangkok municipal authority reserves the right to dismantle any

structures that have been installed without permission and to impose fines

on the relevant agency.

These new regulations are aimed at controlling the use of public footpaths.

This has made been necessary because of the messy construction works along

Bangkok’s roadsides, a senior municipal official, Jim Panthumkomol said.
