Bangkok's Wireless Road: A Journey Through Time
12 Sept 08:22Key points summarised by AI
The Wireless House One Bangkok, opening January 13, 2025, is a meticulously reconstructed replica of Thailand's first radiotelegraph station, commemorating its 111th anniversary.
This project exemplifies successful harmony between historical preservation and modern urban development, involving extensive collaboration to relocate and restore the building as a cultural asset.
Visitors can explore interactive exhibitions, original artifacts, and a replica wooden bridge, tracing Thailand's communication history and the origins of Wireless Road.
Originally located within Crown Property Bureau land, the station was thoughtfully relocated to a prominent corner of Wireless Road to enhance its visibility and accessibility as a public heritage site.
Nationwide crackdown launched on illegal nominee shareholders and land holdings
Yesterday 15:20Key points summarised by AI
Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated a nationwide crackdown on illegal Thai nominee shareholders in foreign-run businesses and land holdings to safeguard national interests.
The government will integrate efforts across all relevant agencies to target illicit foreign operations, forced sales of illegally acquired property, and high-risk land ownership schemes.
Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
