Attawit urges demolition of the 70-year-old Ban Khon Hat School building due to critically cracked columns and appeals to the Ministry of Transport to widen the shoulders of the Mae Win–Chiang Mai route because of frequent accidents occurring there.
On 9 July 2026, Attawit Suwanpakdee, MP from the Ruam Thai Sang Chart Party, brought citizens' hardships to the House of Representatives session after personally inspecting the issues. He identified two major problems spanning from the south to the north that require urgent action by relevant authorities.
The first issue Attawit highlighted concerns Ban Khon Hat School in Cha-uat District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province. Though a small rural school, it has a proud history as a training ground for many Thai national volleyball players across under-14, under-16, and under-18 levels, including star players Piyanuch Pannoi and Atcharaporn Kongyot. However, the school building constructed in 1956 is now about 70 years old and severely deteriorated. Its structural columns have cracked critically, posing a danger to teachers and students' safety.
Attawit added that if left unaddressed, this could harm educational development and future national athletes. He therefore urged the Nakhon Si Thammarat Primary Educational Service Area Office 3 and the Minister of Education to promptly approve a budget to replace the old building with a new two-story facility housing eight classrooms to ensure maximum safety.
The second issue raised involved the hardships of people in Mae Wang District, Chiang Mai Province, along the Mae Win–Ban Huai Khiang intersection route. This route is a critical transport link connecting the Royal Projects of Mae Ha, Thung Luang, and Khun Wang. It also serves as a main road between Chiang Mai and Mae Hong Son provinces, heavily used daily by locals and ethnic communities.
Attawit noted that this road is only five meters wide, too narrow for current traffic volumes, causing over 100 severe accidents annually on average. The Mae Win Subdistrict Administrative Organization and local residents have united to voice their concerns and request the government to urgently construct 15 kilometers of road shoulders. Although budget constraints have delayed progress, they seek immediate action to start construction, aiming to reduce casualties and improve safety for residents and tourists alike.
