More green space and trees.

Better pedestrian walkways by removing the vendors that block the sidewalks.

Bikepaths.

Some kind of penalty for motorcycles riding on the pavements along bicycle lanes near schools.

Less vendors on the sidewalks so motorbikes can move more freely

Outlawing advertising a place as a bathroom where the toilet is less than 1 foot off the ground.

A bit selfish, but...

Relocate the city to the U.K. to form an autonomous region!

A 'congestion charge' system for all private cars entering the CBD and areas with MRTA/BTS access, similar to the ones operating in some major foreign cities.

Change local building regulations so that there is minimal car parking space allocated in high-rise office buildings, not the first ten stories as is the case now.

Expand the existing BTS/MRTA and make this a priority.

Stop the building of concession funded/operated elevated tollways in Bangkok - this an outmoded concept (as a business model) and the benefits provided to joe public are minimal.

Stop the building of golf courses on prime agricultural land on the fringes of Bangkok.

Instigate a meaningful long term solution to Bangkok flooding/inundation (not sure how best to do this though)

Provide proper sidewalks where you actually can walk. Not broken and loose tiles everywhere, not constantly running into some obstruction.

Sounds easy, but it will not happen the next 50 years.

It's time to promote electric vehicles. Especially small cars and bikes. And maybe bring back trams or trolley buses.

I would change it back to how it was in 1998.

Very fond memories indeed my friend.

Most of the things people want to change would just make bkk more and more like a boring, clean cut European city and thats not what i signed up for. That's just my imo.

1. Clear off the sidewalks...there are way, way, way too many street vendors. Bangkokians have forgetton what an open, clear sidewalk is like.

2. Military out of government.

Honest police

Better sidewalks

Less traffic

More public parks and green space

Less littering

Less pollution

Clear the footpaths /sidewalks, on a gradual basis if necessary. when shops are pushing their products outside the open fronts onto the pavement.

And generally enforcing laws as they are in the Streets, Eg, surely Motorbikes are not permitted on the footpaths?I have seen policemen asking to see papers of a motorbike rider on the road while on the path a motor cyclist happily making his way .Crazy
