the transport ministry has chosen the rangsit area as the location for the new northern and northeastern inter-provincial bus terminal.
the terminal, which will cover at least 80 rai can be located on either side of phahon yothin road and must not be any further from thammasat university rangsit campus in northern bangkok, transport permanent secretary soithip traisuth said tuesday after a meeting to discuss the relocation of the mor chit 2 terminal on kamphaeng phet road.
