  • 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. HIGHLIGHTS Joining the adoring crowds at Thailand’s most famous temple, Wat Phra Kaew (p108) Escaping the tour

In the early period, most people settled along the Chao Phraya River and the canals. Waterway served as the main mode of transportation for Bangkoknians’ commuting. By the mid-19th century, the commuting system was changed from water transport to land transport and had emphasized plans of transportation infrastructures such as bridge and road network. There have seen significant urban shifts in land use and travel behaviors. Specifically, this gradually converted Bangkok into a car dependency city and made the city spread outwards. Physically, employment locations are largely concentrated in the inner core. Such urban structure unavoidably generates huge amount of travel demand which are mostly made by long distance trips by private vehicles. The transportation in Bangkok is presently based on road and expressway network.
