Sathorn: There are many parts in Bangkok Metropolitan Region. The footpath is small space. According to the Criteria and Principle City plan 2549 (2006), footpath in the following areas must be wide at least 1.5 meters. There are business areas, commercial areas, industrial areas, residential areas, and schools. It must be at least 1.5 meters wide.
Sathorn is one part of the business area, residential area, and school. They build footpaths that follow the Criteria and Principle City plan above. It means the distance that pedestrians walked in the opposite direction.
To make matters worse, there are a lot of trees on the footpath some areas. Tree roots make damage to it and it’s ruined. Sometimes that ruined for pedestrians to walk on the roadside.
The footpath is the way that we use it in daily life. The section that relates to this should solve the problem in long term and be appropriate.
