BMA to buy rubber to renovate old Rot Fai park



BANGKOK, 18 January 2016 (NNT) - Bangkok Governor M.R.Sukhumbhand Paribatra on Sunday surveyed the Rot Fai public park for the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA)’s project to rubberize road surfaces and sport fields.

The governor was accompanied by executives of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and representatives of relevant organizations. The BMA’s rubber purchase is part of the government’s policy to promote the use of natural rubber in the country. Many government units have been instructed to buy the rubber to build and repair public utilities.

M.R.Sukhumbhand said rubber could be used to repair many sport fields, futsal fields and public parks in Bangkok. The BMA therefore agreed to buy more than 2,000 tons of rubber in an effort to help the farmers affected by the rubber price drop, said the governor.

The old Rot Fai public park is the BMA’s pilot project using rubber for dilapidated public facilities.

How is the rubber used?

So the rubber is going to be used to repair public facilities?

And yet before the rubber crisis came to the fore, this wasn't on any BMA agenda and therefore not budgeted for.

All very convenient. And odd.

How about the military replacing all its conscripted soldiers with RUBBER MANNEQUINS?

They're cheap to maintain and obediant - the perfect democratic soldier.

Be nice if they could make some rubber condoms in farang large size

Rubberization of Thailand in the making.

I can see the rubber being used on the children's playground for cushioning but what else can you do with it in a park? Do they use for running tracks and the like as well?

"rubberize road surfaces and sport fields"... what the heck is a rubberized road surface or sports field?????

"The old Rot Fai public park is the BMA’s pilot project using rubber for dilapidated public facilities."

Doesn't Thailand have enough dilapidated public facilities already?

Oh I think they are going to make the public toilets out of rubber in future.

And the new batch of CCTV cameras will be rubber too. And the Police Traffic Control Boxes at junctions.

And the Fire Engines......
