Jai Dee Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 ACM Kongsak continues setting Suvarnabhumi city as the 77th province The Interior Minister, Air Chief Marshal Kongsak Wanthana (คงศักดิ์ วันทนา), is still pushing forward to establish Suvarnabhumi City as the 77th province of Thailand. ACM Kongsak said that the project will be continued even though the government may change. He said that if the government does not develop the city around the airport, it could cause negative images to the country. The Ministry of Interior is developing a city plan and it will be presented at the meeting of the House of Representatives so the act for establishing the city would be issued.

sriracha john Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 (edited) He said that if the government does not develop the city around the airport, it could cause negative images to the country. Obvious typo error corrected. Secondarily, does this mean the nomenclature for Thai Town in Los Angeles will be changed to "78th Province" ?

Ricardo Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Do you think that the acting caretaker Interior Minister might have any suggestions, as to what to name this new province, when created ? Perhaps it might be named after the family/group who own so much of the land ? Taksin-land perhaps, TRT-ville, Corrupt-Snake-Swamp , etcetera. But whatever it is called, it should surely remain un-developed, rather than condemn hundreds of thousands of people to live in shabby moo-bans under the flight-paths, in the name of progress & the greater profit of a few people ? Which would surely create an even more negative image of Thailand for the arriving travellers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NamKAheng Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 On top of that they want to develop that city right in the middle of a swamp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Clifton Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 How many people already living in the area will be displaced, never to come back with the cost of living in this new Forbidden City for the Emperor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
