GSB and DPU Transform Ban Yang Phatthana into a Community Floating Market
Government Savings Bank and Dhurakij Pundit University have launched a project to revitalize the Ban Yang Phatthana community through a new floating market initiative.
According to a report by Prachachat Business, the Government Savings Bank (GSB) and Dhurakij Pundit University (DPU) have collaborated on the 'GSB Youth Development for Local Preservation' project for the year 2026. The initiative aims to revitalize the Ban Yang Phatthana community by establishing a new 'Community Floating Market.'
This project focuses on elevating local OTOP (One Tambon One Product) goods to create sustainable income streams for residents. By transforming the area into a floating market, the organizers hope to stimulate local tourism and provide a platform for community-made products to reach a wider audience.
For travelers and residents, this development represents a potential new cultural destination that highlights local craftsmanship and traditional commerce. It offers an opportunity to support grassroots economic growth while experiencing authentic community life.
While the project has been presented as a successful initiative to revitalize the area, details regarding the official opening schedule, specific operating hours of the market, and the full range of products available to visitors remain to be confirmed. Those interested in visiting should monitor future announcements from the DPU or GSB regarding the market's operational status.
