Inner Bangkok is going through big changes. New public transport routes and rapid property development means that the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) is having to reorganize traditional neighborhood boundaries. Here, BK visits the communities at threat and speaks to residents about their fears for the future.
First, a storm of rumors circulated that the Thailand Creative & Design Center (TCDC) is under threat of closure, then the junta annulled the creative economy act. Following months of silence, TCDC has finally announced its move to Charoenkrung Road’s Central Post Office building will take effect early next year. Here, BK talks to Apisit Laistrooglai, Vice President of Office of Knowledge Management and Development (OKMD) and Director General of TCDC, about what the move will mean for the organization and Bangkok’s riverside.
