Nakhon Nayok Residents Oppose Pasak-Gulf of Thailand Floodway Project

One source

Local groups in Nakhon Nayok have issued a formal statement opposing the proposed Pasak-Gulf of Thailand floodway project, citing concerns over the public consultation process.

According to a report by Thai Post on July 29, 2026, the Nakhon Nayok Citizens Association, along with local networks and affected residents, have officially declared their opposition to the Pasak-Gulf of Thailand floodway project. The group released their first formal statement expressing significant concerns regarding the initiative.

The primary grievance raised by the residents involves the public consultation process, which they argue has been insufficient. They are calling for a comprehensive review of how feedback is gathered and addressed by the authorities. For residents and those living in the Nakhon Nayok area, this development signals potential delays or shifts in infrastructure planning that could impact land use and local environmental management.

For travellers, while this opposition does not currently impact tourism or transit, it is worth noting as it reflects ongoing local debates regarding large-scale water management projects in the region. As of now, the project's status remains subject to these public objections. It remains to be confirmed how the relevant government agencies will respond to the demand for a review of the consultation process and whether the project will proceed as originally planned or undergo significant modifications based on this community feedback.
