Bangkok Car Free Day 2024

On September 22, 2024, Bangkok hosted 'Car Free Day' on Banthatthong Road, promoting reduced vehicle use and encouraging walking and public transport. Supported by Chulalongkorn University, the event aimed to raise awareness about air pollution and enhance urban living by managing traffic and organizing street vendors.

The trial period ran from September 21-22, 2024, from 4:00 PM to midnight. If successful, it could lead to more carbon-free areas in the city, demonstrating a commitment to improving quality of life amid congestion and pollution.
