Chonburi Province Governor Mr. Seni Chittakasem along with Thai transportation officials and representatives from Chulalongkorn University visited District 7’s district office on Tuesday, September 1 to learn about Caltrans transportation system planning, city planning, infrastructure asset management, intermodal transportation, highway maintenance and management, traffic operation systems, and environmental planning.

District 7’s Senior Landscape Architect, Ed Siribohdi, a Thai-American, considered this event as chance to help his former homeland. “They [the delegates] are trying to find ways to improve their transportation system. They have a new major port in the Chonburi Province to divert commerce traffic from Bangkok,” said Siribohdi. “We have a wealth of knowledge and they are just starting what we [Caltrans] have been doing for years.”
