These include rehabilitating degraded areas, with the commercial community in the district providing facilitators for the projects to promote safe and strengthen relationships. “We also focus on sustainable socio-economic development, assuring the local communities along the Chao Phraya River can live harmoniously and proudly with nature. We are committed to supporting the communities nearby, to preserving Thai culture and traditions, and to taking care of the environment of the waterfront communities along the Chao Phraya River,” he said. The 20[-rai Royal Honorary Park under the King Taksin Bridge was established in 1996 as part of the 50th Anniversary Celebrations of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s Accession to the Throne, and Her Majesty Queen Sirikit’s birthday. After serving the public for more than 20 years, the park needed rehabilitation so it could once again serve the Klong San people and nearby communities.
