Angelo99 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 20 years to move BKK? It's taken the local government in Patts 6 years to widen a 1.5k strip of road between Patts and Jomtien and it's still only 90% done. I'd say 10 years to come to agreement to do it, 10 more to agree on how to do it and another 30 to get it 90% done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

animatic Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Thai Capital Should Be Moved To Northeast, Top Scientist Says Nakhon Nayok is sorta the Northeast... northeast of Bangkok, anyway... Thai Lawmakers Submit Motion On Moving The Thai Capital http://www.thaivisa....e-thai-capital/ The other paper on this report explains more on the Pheu Thai Party MP's proposal. It is to move the capital to Nakhon Nayok. This is a revitalization of the original proposal to do so that Thaksin had made to spend One Trillion Baht to accomplish. ===== The government announced at the end of 2003 that in the next 6 years it planned to spend over one trillion baht on infrastructure projects, including a new city project in Nakhon Nayok http://pioneer.netse...haksinomics.pdf .Located about 100km northeast of Bangkok, Ban Na - which literally means "home of paddy fields" - is a little world of its own where farmers work all day in paddy fields and buffalos graze on grassland. Thaksin planned to turn this farmland district into a modern metropolis. He even coined a name for it - Nakhon Nayok Muang Mai, or New Town. After all the publicity given to Thaksin's plans for the area, land prices increased tenfold to as much as one million baht per rai, especially in the central parts of the district, with most of the property speculators coming from Bangkok. http://2bangkok.com/...it-newcity.html . It is still Nakhon Nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NxaiPan Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 CM could do with some improvement. If the government moves up here that would mean all the diplomats, media types and assorted hangers on have to move also. It would certainly change the demographics of the farang population. As Myanmar & Laos open up and the links with China come online, CM would become a regionally crucial centre. Where's the downside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
