Old Klang Dong police station up for bidding with Bt18,000 start

13 Sept 11:44 Key points summarised by AI

The old Klang Dong Police Station building in Nakhon Ratchasima province is scheduled for demolition, with bidding opening next month at a remarkably low starting price of Bt18,000.
The demolition is prompted by the completion and operation of a new 22-million-baht police station, making the old structure redundant and freeing up essential space for activities and parking.

Thailand's government will launch the "Chainat-Pasak-Gulf" water diversion canal project in fiscal year 2027, a seven-year mega-infrastructure initiative.
This permanent structural solution aims to mitigate recurrent central plains flooding by diverting water from the Chao Phraya River directly into the Gulf of Thailand, significantly reducing flow to major cities like Ayutthaya and Bangkok.
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul justifies the long-term investment as a means to reduce future damages and fiscal burdens, contrasting it with the 40-50 billion baht spent annually on short-term flood relief.
Concurrently, the Prime Minister instructed officials to expand drainage capacity into the Tha Chin River and swiftly remove water hyacinths to improve immediate flood management.
