For the first time, \u201curban development\u201d is being developed in tandem with \u201crail network\u201d at a national scale. This is not just about expanding the transportation networks\u2014it is about redefining how cities grow, shaping new living schemes that are more structured, efficient, and sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The core of this project lies in the transformation of areas around the stations into integrated urban transportation centers that combine residential, commercial, and economic functions in one place. The initiative covers 177 stations nationwide, including double-track railways and high-speed rail systems, and put TOD as a foundational framework for future urban development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The implementation is divided into four phases, aligned with infrastructure readiness and real estate market dynamics. The implementation begins with an urgent phase (2025\u20132027) covering three pilot areas, which serve as sandboxes. The next phase continues on 80 areas (2028\u20132032), followed by 54 areas in the following phase and 40 areas afterward, with full nationwide implementation targeted by 2042.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pattaya: From Tourism City to a Global Lifestyle &amp; Business Hub<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The TOD development in Pattaya is being elevated into a \u201cregional economic hub,\u201d strategically connected to key national infrastructures. This includes the high-speed rail linking three major airports and developments within the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The vision is to create a \u201cnew city around the station\u201d within a radius of approximately 1,000 meters, based on a mixed-use concept that seamlessly integrates work, living, and lifestyle. The development encompasses business districts, office spaces, retail centers, hotels, MICE facilities, diverse residential options, and public spaces\u2014effectively transforming Pattaya from a tourism-driven city into a Global Lifestyle &amp; Business Hub with stronger economic significance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a total development area of approximately 1.6 million square meters, the project is structured into three phases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1086\" src=\"https:\/\/www.angelrealestate.co.th\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/\u0e1e\u0e31\u0e17\u0e22\u0e32-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23929\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.angelrealestate.co.th\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/\u0e1e\u0e31\u0e17\u0e22\u0e32-1.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.angelrealestate.co.th\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/\u0e1e\u0e31\u0e17\u0e22\u0e32-1-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.angelrealestate.co.th\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/\u0e1e\u0e31\u0e17\u0e22\u0e32-1-1024x724.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.angelrealestate.co.th\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/\u0e1e\u0e31\u0e17\u0e22\u0e32-1-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.angelrealestate.co.th\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/\u0e1e\u0e31\u0e17\u0e22\u0e32-1-1131x800.jpg 1131w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Phase 1 (2026\u20132029): Focus on building core infrastructure, including roads, connectivity networks, and pedestrian and cycling networks.
