A LANDMARK project to remodel prime areas alongside the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok has been postponed six months, Deputy Prime Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan said Monday.
He said the postponement was the result of the project’s committee asking for a budget of Bt126 million, when the government had only approved Bt76 million for the 2015 fiscal year for its design, public relations and related processes. The committee will apply for the additional Bt50 million soon.
There had also been obstacles in the design process and gaining permission for construction from related agencies and affected residents, he said.
