BANGKOK’S AMBITION PLAN TO BUILD A 377 HECTARES SMART DISTRICT
WHAT
Thailand's Transport Ministry is evaluating the development of an integrated entertainment complex at Bangkok Port in the Khlong Toei area, covering 377 hectares, with zoning for a Smart City, Smart Port, and Smart Community.
Bangkok Port is considered a promising candidate for an integrated entertainment complex due to its expansive size, scenic river views, and the possibility of incorporating a yacht marina.
HOW
Smart City (174 hectares) – Integrates urban development with logistics and tourism.
Smart Port (114 hectares) – Enhances cargo efficiency with logistics hubs and connectivity projects.
- Bangkok Logistics Park – Aims to reduce national logistics costs by 0.5 billion SEK annually.
- Port and Transport Connectivity – Expanding links to highways to ease congestion.
- Traffic Management System (Truck Q) – Reduces vehicle bottlenecks inside and outside the port.
Smart Community (20 hectares) – Focuses on improving local living conditions and environmental sustainability.
Cruise Terminal Development (11 hectares) – Positioned along the Chao Phraya River to promote tourism and long-term economic benefits.
PTT-Leased Area (17 hectares) – Designated for industrial and commercial use.
Swedish companies with expertise in these areas can position themselves as key technology and equipment providers, supporting Thailand's ambition in developing a smart district and entertainment complex in Bangkok’s Khlong Toey district.
