Bangkok residents oppose the draft city plan for Bangkok. The 4th revised edition reveals that people in the area never knew the information. As for the owner who was expropriated, he never knew before. Request to join in drafting a new version Urge to draft a new city plan There is a process of listening to the people from the beginning.
On January 6th, Bangkok held a forum to listen to opinions and consult with citizens regarding the planning and preparation of the Bangkok City Plan. (Revised 4th time) After holding a forum to listen to opinions 4 times, this was the final forum to listen to opinions. Before posting the announcement Then allow those who disagree to object within 90 days.
.
Before the announcement of the enforcement of the fourth revised city plan, at the forum there were affected citizens protesting. Because it was affected by road expansion and land expropriation. without notifying or receiving information from Bangkok before
For the people who have suffered from the new body public sector network Therefore came out together to oppose the draft city plan of Bangkok. along with calling for opinions to be heard and for the people to truly participate in drafting the city plan.
Mrs. Ratchanee Buranapathana, owner of Minburi land, Soi Seri Thai 66, Minburi District, that was affected, said The problem encountered was that city planning officials drew a road line along the land in Soi 66, covering an area of 10 rai 3 ngan 36 square wa, which was the entire road.
.
This plot of land was the inheritance of a father who wanted to give it to his 4 children, who did not know that city planning had taken over his own land.
.
The city planners never informed them. Even once that a city plan was planned on that piece of land. and did it arbitrarily Therefore, he absolutely would not allow it to be turned into a road.
Another affected person is Mrs. Darin Sirisuwankit. along with the villagers affected by the expropriation line No. 4 where the road will be cut
.
Said that the Ekkachai area 31/1 houses were expropriated by the Emergency Decree of 31 May 2023, Expropriation Section No. 4, and he never received a single letter. and never acknowledged that there was a forum to listen to opinions never realized anything The group is now waiting for a letter from Bangkok in order to submit it to the Administrative Court.
“Can we expropriate our homes like this? 10 billion worth of road construction. There isn’t even a single piece of paper to notify the people. Never received a single letter. never knew of a forum to listen to opinions never realized anything You’re coming to take our house. But you still haven’t told us.”
Bangkok should dismantle the draft city planning plan. By listening to the voice of the people
Mr. Sophon Nurat, head of the rights protection and protection department of the Consumer Council, said that the draft city plan was brought to listen to opinions. There is an incorrect process. Didn’t listen to people’s opinions first.
.
The correct process should first be to listen to the people about what kind of city plan they want. But when the draft is finished, then come and say whether you agree or not. Therefore it is considered a wrong step.
Mr. Kongsak Sahasakmontri The Community Network for Protecting the Quality of Life of Urban People said that the process of drafting the city plan started wrongly. It doesn’t start by listening to the people first. Because the people do not know about the drafting of this perverted city plan. Until the draft city plan is completed, then it will be brought to listen to opinions.
.
Which according to the city planning law, Section 9 states that the people must be listened to first. But the people don’t know about it and don’t understand it, which is the weak point of this city plan that the villagers don’t know any information at all.
“I would like to ask that in drafting the city plan that outlines the expropriation of 148 roads, a distance of more than 600 kilometers, that cross the rooftops of people’s houses, But the people don’t know anything about it. So who draws road lines that are 12 meters, 16 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters, 40 meters wide? Have you asked the people yet? Can you come and ask the people first? What benefits will people get from wider roads? other than real estate companies.”
Mr. Korn Chatikawanich, representative of the public sector Said that the process and substance of the city plan that the BMA proposed had problems. It reflects the intent of the drafter. The process that is in place does not allow the people to understand what the BMA has presented. People should listen to the people about what the BMA’s proposed model is flawed with. The people were not seriously asked what the people wanted.
Mr. Korn also added that Intent of the city plan The origins and benefits of changing the layout of Bangkok. The biggest beneficiaries are the capitalists and real estate developers who will expand 148 roads.
.
The main objective is to increase the opportunity to build tall buildings in crowded residential areas. Whether it is reducing the water absorbent area which opens the door for real estate developers to expand the area.
While Mr. Panthil Nuamjem, MP of the Kao Klai Party Khlong Toei-Watthana District said that drafting the city plan This version does not have a process for truly listening to the voices of the people. There are many people who do not understand and are not aware of city planning. Which, according to principle The city plan is the rules for living together for the people of Bangkok.
.
Because it directly affects life Therefore, I really want the process of listening to opinions to take place. And there are methods for communicating to the public to better understand the city plan.

According to Bangkok, which has the Office of Urban Planning and Development as the main responsible agency. Work has been done to issue local regulations for enforcing the Bangkok City Plan under the Town Planning Act B.E. 2019.
.
But because this law is governed by the Constitution. Therefore, in urban planning at all levels which in addition to being consistent with the needs of the people in the area
.
The planning and preparation of the comprehensive city plan must be carried out. Taking into account those who will be affected in each type of plan. And there must be public relations for the public to receive information through various and thorough methods. Therefore, the following claims are made.
Draft Bangkok city plan (4th revision) since the original version that has been prepared since 2017-2019 clearly lacks public relations As a result, most people lack awareness. and clearly participate The Consumer Foundation and the Public Sector Network have issued letters of protest regarding the content. and the public participation process From 24 May 2019
Draft city plan for Bangkok (4th revised edition) The original version had to delay the announcement of enforcement. To improve the content and create a new draft of the Bangkok City Plan (4th revised edition) to be in line with the Urban Planning Act 2019 that was newly announced on 29 May 2019.
The process of planning and creating the Bangkok city plan. (4th revised edition) has resumed the process of holding public hearings from the beginning of 2023 until the meeting on 23 and 24 December 2023, including those held on 6 January 2024, still failed. Failure in public relations Intentionally not allowing the public to know thoroughly and was organized to allow the people to become “Lecture listeners” in the original ready-made draft city plan That has been done since 2017, more than “listening to opinions” from the public and without any consultation to be reached. Truly “public participation”.
