On March 11, 2026, Mr. Taiwhut Khankaew, Deputy Permanent Secretary for the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), led a focused site inspection at the Prachaniwet Sports Center in Chatuchak District to address the facility’s aging infrastructure. Recognizing that the center has become dilapidated through years of constant community use, Mr. Taiwhut instructed the Culture, Sports and Tourism Department to immediately prepare a comprehensive renovation budget. This financial plan will prioritize essential repairs and the purchase of high-performance equipment to restore the center to its former glory. The renovation scope is extensive, covering critical structural elements such as reinforced roofing systems, improved roof drainage for administrative buildings, and modern lighting installations to ensure safety and visibility for evening athletes.

Beyond basic repairs, the BMA plans to significantly enhance the center’s outdoor appeal by installing a new lawn, automated sprinklers, and robust water management systems, including new storage tanks and pumps. To directly benefit fitness enthusiasts, the project will also involve the acquisition of modern outdoor exercise equipment. Mr. Taiwhut underscored that these funds must be managed with high efficiency, ensuring that public interests remain at the forefront of the restoration effort. Currently, this sports center remains a bustling community hub, offering diverse daily activities such as yoga, swimming, taekwondo, and ballroom dancing. By modernizing these facilities, the BMA reaffirms its commitment to promoting public health and providing high-quality, accessible recreational spaces for the residents of Lat Yao and the surrounding districts.
