BANGKOK: -- The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) will demolish 20 homes in the Kieo Khai Ka community in Dusit district from July 10-31 to make way for the “Chao Phraya for All” riverbank development, Deputy Governor Jakkapan Pewngarm said on Thursday.

 

Planned development in the area involves landscaping and construction of a dam.

 

Jakkapan said after a meeting of officials from the BMA Public Works and Drainage and Sewerage departments and the District Office that affected residents could collect compensation funds at City Hall on July 26.

 

Plans call for the Metropolitan Electricity Authority to cut off power to the neighbourhood on July 10 before 60 workers and heavy machinery move in to demolish buildings. 

 

A 30-member clean-up team will then remove the debris.

 

Jakkapan said Thesakij municipal law-enforcement officers would maintain order in the area during the project and city officials would take photos of the work in progress as proof that everything was above board.

BMA says that about 90% of the affected people (14 riverside communities) were willing to move. I find that hard to believe. More like 50% or less I suspect.
