National Housing Authority Launches New Project in Chiang Mai
The National Housing Authority is developing 516 new residential units at the Chiang Mai Night Safari site to support low-income earners.
According to a report by Prachachat Business, the National Housing Authority (NHA) has announced plans to revitalize a 10-rai plot of land located at the Baan Ua-Athorn Chiang Mai Night Safari site. The initiative, titled “Baan Keha for Thais,” aims to provide affordable housing options for low-income individuals.
The project involves the construction of 12 four-story residential buildings, which will collectively offer 516 housing units. Minister of Social Development and Human Security, Nikorn Somklang, indicated that this development is part of a broader effort to address housing needs in the region.
For residents, this project represents a significant increase in local housing availability, potentially impacting the local real estate market and urban development in the Chiang Mai area. For travelers, while this is primarily a residential development, it highlights ongoing infrastructure changes near the popular Night Safari tourist zone.
At this stage, specific details regarding the application process, eligibility criteria for potential residents, and the official timeline for the completion of the construction remain to be confirmed by the NHA. Interested parties should monitor official government announcements for further updates on when these units will be available for occupancy.
