Bangkok Governor Aswin Kwanmuang is trumpeting the installation of 30 new and “more user-friendly” bus stop signs around the city that he believes will save people from getting lost.

In a recent post on his “aswinkwanmuang” Facebook page, the governor said the idea was presented during Bangkok Design Week in early 2018 by a civic group called May Day. 

Both sides of the signs show the numbers of the buses on the route, emergency phone numbers and a map in Thai and English.

The first 30 signs are along the MRTA Green Line and outside Robinson Bang Rak on Charoenkrung Road, Central World on Rajadamri Road, the National Stadium on Rama I Road, MBK on Phayathai Road, the Khok Wua-Rattanakosin Exhibition intersection on Rajadamnoen Klang Road and in the Sanam Luang area.

The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration has earmarked funding for fiscal 2019 to erect 500 more signs in Chatuchak, Phayathai, Ratchathewee, Pathumwan and Bang Rak districts, Aswin said.

Bidding is underway on the contract. 

Another 500 signs are budgeted for fiscal 2020 for Phra Nakhon, Dusit and Pom Prap districts, he said.
