Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has scrapped a 2.7-billion-baht plan to build science museums in Chiang Mai and Phrae and will instead have a less-expensive science-technology exhibition centre built in Pathum Thani.
The proposed exhibition hall for science technology will help fulfil a goal to develop a science city in Klong Luang district of Pathum Thani, where the Thailand Science Park already is located. Plans call for the new facility to be built on an adjacent, 52-rai plot.
