Bangok Post announced that the project at Makkasan BTS station will follow the Chamchuri Square model, a residential and commercial project on Rama IV built above Sam Yan MRT station. Developing the station would help boost its profile as the gateway to the Airport Link, the Minister said to the local press.

Supoj Saplom, the transport permanent secretary and chairman of the State Railways of Thailand board, said a consultant will conduct a feasibility study of the 517-rai Makkasan project.

Minister Sukampol also pledged to expand the Airport Rail Link system, which connects inner Bangkok with Suvarnabhumi Airport, to Don Mueang Airport and Rayong province.

“BTS and MRT connections to the Airport Rail Link system must also be improved to attract more users”, he said. The Minister’s lobbying campaign will begin after government delivers its policy statement before parliament this week.
