Bangkok Relocation

Thailand’s prime minister, Srettha Thavisin, has confirmed an intention to relocate Bangkok Port. The current port area on the Chao Phraya River will be regenerated in a bid to benefit local citizens by the removal of pollution caused by shipping and road transport. The Ministry of Transport and the Port Authority of Thailand are working on a relocation study, although the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), the city’s local government, favours shifting the port to Laem Chabang.
