Hua Hin Town Plan nears approval after nearly a decade in development

Post by buksida »

The Hua Hin Town Plan, a comprehensive urban development blueprint nearly a decade in the making, is expected to receive approval from the government next year.

This plan, which has undergone numerous revisions and public hearings, aims to expand Hua Hin's official boundaries and enhance infrastructure and development opportunities in the region.

According to the Thap Tai Subdistrict Administrative Organisation, the revised plan has successfully passed the public hearing stage and is now being prepared for submission to the Cabinet. If approved, the plan will be announced and implemented in early 2025.

The new Hua Hin Town Plan will significantly increase the municipality's size, expanding from 87 to 327 square kilometers. This expansion will incorporate the areas of Thap Tai and Hin Lek Fai, effectively making Hua Hin municipality area about four times larger than its current size.

The updated plan focuses on land use regulations across various sectors, including commercial and residential buildings, industrial factories, agricultural zones, and military areas. It aims to provide clarity for landowners and potential buyers on how to utilise their land in compliance with local regulations.

The town plan will categorise land by colour, each representing different usage and construction control laws:

Yellow – Low-Density Residential Zone
Orange – Middle Density Residential Zone
Red – Commercial Center Zone
Purple – Industrial and Warehouse Zone
Green – Rural and Agricultural Zone
Light Green – Open Space for Recreation and Environmental Conservation
Light Green with White Diagonal Lines – Forest Conservation Land
Olive Green – Educational Institution Zone
Gray – Religious Institutes Zone
Blue – Governmental Institutions, Public Utilities, and Amenities Zone
Safety Zones in Military Service Areas

The implementation of the new Hua Hin Town Plan aims to guide future development in a structured and regulated manner, ensuring sustainable growth and proper land use management for the expanded municipality.

Looks like the need for some new bar areas has been forgotten again.
