Photographs of piles of rubble resulting from the demolition of structures in Thon Buri’s Khlong San Plaza Market recently went viral online, with many residents voicing anger and regret. The area is being prepared for handover to the State Railway of Thailand (SRT).

The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) is planning to offer its land at Khlong San market up for long-term commercial use under rental contract next year to generate additional income, said Somyut Reun-Ngam, SRT deputy director for train operations.
