Hua Hin will hold public hearing on new City Planning Draft on Apr 22

PRACHUAP KHIRI KHAN, 18 April 2015 (NNT) – The city of Hua Hin, a famous tourist district of Prachuap Khiri Khan, will hold a public hearing on the draft of its newly-designed city plan on April 22 at 9.30 a.m. at Hua Hin School.

The new Principle City Plan of Hua Hin will cover an area of 327 square kilometers which is four times bigger than the existing area of 87.20 sq km. The provincial Office of Public Works and Town & Country Planning is to hold the public hearing in order to ensure that the new city plan is acceptable to all sides before being submitted to the City Planning Committee for consideration.

The draft is designed to cope with economic and tourism growth and ensure proper infrastructure development. It regulates the use of lands and lays down transportation and logistics infrastructures in response to the growth of tourism, trade and investment in the future, according to the Director of Public Works and Town & Country Planning of Prachuap Khiri Khan Province.

Yawn......the hi-so and developers have been privy to the 'plan' for years and have, appropriately already bought up the best plots. Presumably the expansion will extend northwards into Cha Am so that all the projects and developments there with 'Hua Hin' in their names can be justified?

Cynicism aside, as with other towns that have become popular with local and foreigh tourists the once 'laid back' and quaint original town area can no longer cope with burgeoning numbers and in order to improve it many shopkeepers and residents will have to move out to new build areas.
