Sidewalks are the starting point of daily travel for city people in Bangkok.

Bangkok understands and is aware of sidewalk problems. Accelerate the upgrading of sidewalks to meet standards, both new construction, repairs, and use of innovations to help make sidewalks attractive, walkable, and safe, suitable for all genders, ages, and occasions. The Bangkok spokesperson leads the team to inspect the sidewalks, piloting the Ratchadamri-Ploenchit area #, new sidewalk standards, entrances and exits to buildings are smooth and even with the sidewalks, reinforced concrete floors increase strength, reduce water explosions and leg bounce, before expanding to 16 routes throughout Bangkok.

By moving forward with 3 parts to make Bangkok's sidewalks walkable, walkable and attractive.

Making new sidewalks
Sidewalk repair and improvement
Application of local innovations

In addition, the Department of Public Works has coordinated with various public utility agencies to reduce, stop, and quit the behavior of breaking the sidewalks.

After the sidewalk is completed, the district office will take action to maintain cleanliness, orderliness, and strictly enforce the rules and regulations on motorcycles parked/running on the sidewalk.

For today's field visit, there is another outstanding point of Ratchadamri-Ploenchit, which is the beautiful and eye-catching identity of the manhole cover, which is another gimmick and check-in point for hip people in the Siam area.

10 new standards to be piloted on 16 routes in Bangkok

Reduce the height of the footpath curb to a shallow gutter 10 centimeters high.
Reduce the height of the curbs at entrances and exits of buildings or alleys to 10 centimeters from the original 18.50 centimeters.
The sidewalk surface is replaced with reinforced concrete for increased strength with 10-centimeter thick concrete and 6-millimeter steel reinforcement.
Adjust the building entrance and exit to be at the same level as the sidewalk so that all pedestrians can pass through continuously and conveniently.
Adjust all connections and ramps to have a slope of 1:12 according to international standards.
Added alternative paving material options: printed asphalt concrete
Change the water inlet from vertical to horizontal to increase the water flow rate.
Establish guidelines for the placement of public utilities on footpaths so as not to obstruct pedestrians.
Place braille blocks to facilitate the visually impaired.
Improve the tree enclosure design with porous asphalt materials to expand the footpath area.
For paths that are not suitable for making a sidewalk, such as in alleys or in areas with narrow sidewalks, sidewalk obstacles have been removed and various methods have been used to suit the area conditions, such as drawing lines to help divide the path for pedestrians, using permeable porous asphalt to surround trees to increase the width of the sidewalk, etc.
