Bangkok Governor Leads “Big Cleaning” Campaign at Benchasiri Park

Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt recently spearheaded a “big cleaning” campaign at Benchasiri Park in Khlong Toei district, alongside a team from the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA). The purpose of the event was to enhance the quality of services at the park, boost its cleanliness, and increase green spaces in order to mitigate air pollution for Bangkok residents.

The event saw the participation of staff from Bangkok’s Department of Environment, Khlong Toei District Office, The Mall Group, and Marriott Hotel. The Environment Department pruned trees, cleaned outdoor exercise equipment, dredged waterways, repaired lights, and weeded the park’s playground, sports field, and pavilion. Meanwhile, the Khlong Toei District Office focused on cleaning the areas surrounding the park, including the footpath and multipurpose yard located at the park’s entrance.

Benchasiri Park is a community park situated in the Khlong Tan sub-district along Sukhumvit Road. It offers residents a place to relax, engage in sports, and exercise with a wide range of amenities such as a pavilion, lawn, playground, pool, and sculptures.

The BMA expressed its appreciation for the support and promotion provided by the event’s partners. The “big cleaning” campaign at Benchasiri Park emphasized the importance of preserving public spaces for the well-being of communities and the environment, highlighting the significance of maintaining such areas.

The event also showcased the BMA’s dedication to improving the quality of life for Bangkok’s residents by taking a hands-on approach to maintaining the city’s public spaces. Through partnerships and community engagement, the BMA is committed to ensuring that Bangkok’s parks and public spaces are clean, safe, and enjoyable for all who use them.
