Suan 50 Suk Project Public Park Project

Ichitan Group Public Company Limited, in collaboration with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, the Khlong Toei District Office and the Expressway Authority of Thailand, has transformed a 12 Rai area in Soi Sukhumvit 50, Khlong Toei District, into a public park named “Suan 50 Suk”. The project aims to revitalize an abandoned space into a green area while addressing air pollution issues. This initiative promotes public health and enhances the quality of life for local residents, aligning with the “One Million Trees Planting Project” and the “15-Minute Park Policy” introduced by Bangkok Governor Mr. Chadchart Sittipunt.

Mr. Tan Passakornnatee, Chief Executive Officer, has expressed a strong commitment to advancing this initiative by expanding the tree planting efforts with an additional 9,000 trees at Khao Chi Chan, Chonburi Province, bringing the total to 10,000 trees this year.

Suan 50 Suk has also been designated as a community waste collection point to promote Circular Economy principles. Through collaboration with the “YOU-Turn” platform, the park facilitates proper waste management by making waste sorting more convenient and efficient.
