  • Review of Urban Transport Policy and Its Impact in Bangkok
    Proceedings of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies, Vol.6, 2007 REVIEW OF URBAN TRANSPORT POLICY AND ITS IMPACT IN BANGKOK Shinya HANAOKA Associate Professor Department of International Development Engineering Tokyo Institute of Technology 2-12-1-I4-12 O-okayama, Meguro-ku, Tokyo, 152-8550, Japan E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This paper reviews transport policy, implementation and its impact in Bangkok. Bangkok has not done any special measures in its transportation system. Many ambitious policies have been planned like the exclusive bus lane and the automatic location system for buses. However, they have only reached the experimental level and have not reached full implementation because of financial constraints and political conflicts. Only the ring road, expressway, overpass, underpass, truck ban, BTS and MRT have been successfully implemented. Key Words: Transport Policy, Bangkok, Historical Review 1. INTRODUCTION Transport system in Bangkok has been relying on a poorly planned road network. Roads are significantly insufficient relative to the city size and population. Existing access roads or sois (dead-end streets) are generally unplanned and narrow with poor connections to the road hierarchy. With these road conditions, Bangkok has established a worldwide reputation for traffic congestion (PADECO, 2000). Traffic congestion in Bangkok results to wasteful burning of fuel and contributes heavily to air pollution, both of which are adversely affecting people’s health and climate change. The conditions have been even more worsening since the recovery of Thailand’s economy after financial crisis. The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) reported that in 1995 bus transit accounted for 48 percent of total trips in Bangkok while personal cars accounted for only 27 percent (JICA, 1997).

  • An Urban Political Ecology of Bangkok's Awful Traffic Congestion
    An urban political ecology of Bangkok's awful traffic congestion Danny Marks1 Dublin City University, Ireland Abstract Urban political ecology (UPE) can contribute important insights to examine traffic congestion, a significant social and environmental problem underexplored in UPE. Specifically, by attending to power relations, the production of urban space, and cultural practices, UPE can help explain why traffic congestions arises and persists but also creates inequalities in terms of environmental impacts and mobility. Based on qualitative research conducted in 2018, the article applies a UPE framework to Bangkok, Thailand, which has some of the world's worst congestion in one of the world's most unequal countries. The city's largely unplanned and uneven development has made congestion worse in a number of ways. Further, the neglect of public transport, particularly the bus system, and the highest priority given to cars has exacerbated congestion but also reflects class interests as well as unequal power relations. Governance shortcomings, including fragmentation, institutional inertia, corruption, and frequent changes in leadership, have also severely hindered state actors to address congestion. However, due to the poor's limited power, solutions to congestion, are post-political and shaped by elite interests. Analyses of congestion need to consider how socio-political relations, discourses, and a city's materiality shape outcomes. Key Words: urban transport governance, Bangkok traffic congestion, urban political ecology, Thailand political economy, Bangkok's bus system Résumé L'écologie politique urbaine (EPU) peut apporter des informations importantes pour examiner la congestion routière, un problème social et environnemental important sous-exploré dans l'EPU. Plus précisément, en s'occupant des relations de pouvoir, de la production d'espace urbain et des pratiques culturelles, l'EPU peut aider à expliquer pourquoi les embouteillages surviennent et persistent mais créent également des inégalités en termes d'impacts environnementaux et de mobilité.

  • BANGKOK 101 Emporium at Vertigo Moon Bar © Lonely Planet Publications Planet Lonely © MBK Sirocco Sky Bar Chao Phraya Express Chinatown Wat Phra Kaew Wat Pho (P171)
    © Lonely Planet Publications 101 BANGKOK BANGKOK Bangkok In recent years, Bangkok has broken away from its old image as a messy third-world capital to be voted by numerous metro-watchers as a top-tier global city. The sprawl and tropical humidity are still the city’s signature ambassadors, but so are gleaming shopping centres and an infectious energy of commerce and restrained mayhem. The veneer is an ultramodern backdrop of skyscraper canyons containing an untamed universe of diversions and excesses. The city is justly famous for debauchery, boasting at least four major red-light districts, as well as a club scene that has been revived post-coup. Meanwhile the urban populous is as cosmopolitan as any Western capital – guided by fashion, music and text messaging. But beside the 21st-century façade is a traditional village as devout and sacred as any remote corner of the country. This is the seat of Thai Buddhism and the monarchy, with the attendant splendid temples. Even the modern shopping centres adhere to the old folk ways with attached spirit shrines that receive daily devotions. Bangkok will cater to every indulgence, from all-night binges to shopping sprees, but it can also transport you into the old-fashioned world of Siam. Rise with daybreak to watch the monks on their alms route, hop aboard a long-tail boat into the canals that once fused the city, or forage for your meals from the numerous and lauded food stalls.

Nowadays, most of the waterway networks have been paved over with roads and the existing water transport facilities along the Chao Phraya river and its canals in Bangkok. Moreover, the existing system lacks adequate accessibility, inter-modal linkages as well as safety. This research study intends to present an overview of this public transport system together with its role and characteristics. In addition, it also intends to recommend some measures to improve the transportation system along these canals in Bangkok and exhibits how the reincarnation of this mode of transport can leave

Project Profile and Japan’s ODA Loan Myanmar Hanoi Laos Vientiane Yangon Thailand Project site Bangkok Cambodia Vietnam Phnom Penh Project site: Bangkok Ramindra – At Narong Expressway 1.1 Background The percentage coverage of the road network1 in the Thai capital, Bangkok, is extremely low as compared to other global capitals, moreover, in qualitative terms the network has heterogeneous defects; the width and grade of the roads lacks continuity, there are instances where the shape and positioning of interchanges is inappropriate, and there are zones in which the road density is exceptionally low. In consequence, economic growth, population increases, and the surge in private car traffic has led to increasingly severe traffic congestion in the Bangkok Metropolitan Region(BMR)2, constraining urban functions in various ways. The northern region of Bangkok metropolis3 have witnessed particularly marked population growth relative to the metropolitan region as a whole and by 2007, it is predicted that a third of the city’s population will reside in this regions. However, despite a surge in vehicle ownership there are few north-south routes linking this region with the center of the city, and the businesses located between Bang Pa In and Rangsit in northern Bangkok, which transport goods into and out of Klong Toey Port in the south, are recognized to be contributing to traffic congestion. 1.2 Objectives To meet increased traffic demand accompanying population growth in Bangkok metropolis in the northeast and to ease north-south traffic congestion, the project aimed to expand the north-south 1 Road coverage percentage = road surface area/administrative land area × 100 (%) 2 A region including the areas of Nonthaburi, Samut Prakarn, Samut Sakorn, Phathumthani, and Nakhorn Pathom, plus the Bangkok special zones.

Several issues regarding the development of land use model in developing metropolis are discussed. A case study of Bangkok is presented. The present situation of urban and transport development is described, showing that land use interaction is not explicitly considered in the transportation analysis. Empirical evidence from the railway projects shows that interaction of land use and transportation interaction is quite strong and must not be ignored. To analyze land use and transportation interaction, an effective tool is required. Among the existing urban models, TRANUS is selected as a pilot system for Bangkok for several reasons. The design and calibration of Bangkok model are described.

Professor Michael Herzfeld Claudio Sopranzetti The Owners of the Map: Motorcycle Taxi Drivers, Mobility, and Politics in Bangkok. Abstract This dissertation offers an ethnography of motorcycle taxi drivers: Bangkok’s most important and informal network of everyday mobility. Drawing on over eight years of experience in the region, six months of archival research, and 24 months of fieldwork, I analyze how the drivers, mostly male rural migrants, negotiate their presence in the city through spatial expertise, bodily practices, and social relations. Their physical mobility through traffic, I argue, shapes their ability to find unexplored routes in the social, economic, and political landscapes of the city and to create paths for action where other urban dwellers see a traffic jam or a political gridlock.
