(March 29, 2025) – The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has continued to keep public parks open around the clock and has deployed drinking water and restroom trucks to assist those facing difficulties returning to their residences due to the earthquake and traffic congestion.

Chadchart Sittipunt, Governor of Bangkok, stated that operations at five public parks on March 28 accommodated approximately 775 people, including Lumpini Park (100), Chatuchak Park (120), Benchasiri Park (75), Benjakitti Park (300), and Santiphap Park (180).

The private sector, including the Metropolitan Waterworks Authority, Tesco Lotus, McDonald’s, and rescue volunteers led by Thai actress Panadda “Boom” Wongphudee, provided beverages and meals for those in the parks, he explained.
He added that police officers had been dispatched to ensure safety, confirming that the situation remained under control.
Chadchart stated that the BMA’s Environment Department had deployed drinking water and restroom trucks to assist the public. The deployment was as follows:
● Two drinking water trucks: One each at Benjakitti and Lumpini parks.

● Eight restroom trucks: Three at the collapsed building site in Chatuchak district, two at Benjakitti Park, and one each at Lerdsin Hospital, Lumpini Park, and Chatuchak Park.

Due to public concerns following the earthquake, these parks were reopened around the clock on March 29 to provide a space for those who still feel uneasy to relax.
Meanwhile, the BMA’s Culture, Sports and Tourism Department will organise the Music in the Park event at six parks: Benjakitti, Benchasiri, Lumpini, Chatuchak, Rot Fai, and Santiphap park.
