Thailand's National Housing Authority (NHA) is revitalizing the 47-year-old Thung Song Hong community housing project, originally built with 1,369 low-income units. The master plan—developed with Silpakorn University—proposes replacing deteriorated structures with 9 new residential buildings totaling ~3,800 units (accommodating existing residents plus ~2,400 new units) adjacent to the Red Line Skytrain, plus commercial and office space. Plans will be submitted to the NHA board and NESDC in 2027, with cabinet consideration in 2028. While this demonstrates long-term urban renewal thinking and BTS accessibility leverage, execution timelines remain uncertain and it affects primarily a specific demographic rather than broader SME/tech sectors.
