On April 16th, we celebrate Bangkok Metropolitan Council Day. The Bangkok Metropolitan Concil Hall is where the legislative branch of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration gathers. This council is responsible for making laws and overseeing the administration of Bangkok. The council is formed by elected representatives from each of Bangkok’s 50 districts. These representatives are called Bangkok Metropolitan Councillors. The Bangkok Metropolitan Council has a rich history. It was established in 1972. The first council had 46 members. In 1973, the council held its first meeting and elected its first chairman. The Bangkok Metropolitan Concil Hall has seen the city’s government evolve through numerous councils. Each council has shaped Bangkok’s present through legislation and administrative oversight. The council plays a vital role in ensuring a well-managed and thriving Bangkok.
