On July 9, 2026, Mr. Chadchart Sittipunt, Governor of Bangkok, chaired an urgent executive meeting at the Thanee Noppharat Building, Bangkok City Hall, Din Daeng District, to roll out immediate strategic interventions across four critical urban areas. To ensure rapid execution, the Strategy and Evaluation Department is finalizing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to align all city departments, setting clear goals to achieve tangible city results within the next 100 days.

The first directive targets illicit foreign-owned businesses and illegal migrant labor networks. Governor Chadchart ordered a comprehensive month-long, city-wide screening to identify suspicious corporate structures and unauthorized street vendors. Because the BMA lacks direct arrest powers for certain international infractions, the city will systematically collect localized data from its districts to form a unified baseline, collaborating with the Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) and the Ministry of Commerce to enforce legal prosecution or deportation.

Secondly, following a recent awning collapse in Samphanthawong District, the BMA is fast-tracking structural safety inspections. The city is prioritizing 65,645 shophouses older than 50 years, requiring owners to submit safety self-assessments within two weeks. Additionally, annual structural audits and evacuation drills for approximately 16,400 high-rise buildings are being strictly monitored, alongside safety mappings of dangerous public utility construction sites on Sathon and Phetchaburi roads.

Thirdly, addressing long-standing environmental concerns at the On Nut Waste Disposal Center, the BMA will strictly enforce contract penalties against operators violating odor regulations, while rolling out long-term plans to transform the facility into a high-quality green space. To ensure maximum transparency, data from the plant’s electronic nose (E-Nose) sensor system and accessible CCTV feeds will be published online for real-time public monitoring, backed by continuous community outreach to address local grievances. Finally, on anti-corruption, the Governor of Bangkok issued a strict seven-day deadline for fact-finding committees to report on a controversial running track project and 17 other suspected city procurement schemes. The BMA is also accelerating the appointment of new investigative panels and closely following up with the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) to protect public trust.
