Asset World Corporation Public Company Limited (AWC), a Thai real estate developer focused on comprehensive lifestyle solutions, and Gateway at Bang Sue, a shopping center under AWC, are reinforcing their commitment to "creating a better future" by contributing to society. They have delivered an elevated walkway (SKY WALK) connecting Gateway at Bang Sue to the MRT Bang Po station to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration. This initiative marks the 4th anniversary of Gateway at Bang Sue and aims to enhance public transportation standards for the benefit of the community, while continuing to develop the shopping center under the concept of Ultimate Fun & Family Experience, complete with a variety of shops and services to create the best experience for all family members.

            Mr. Pheem Liwlum, Head of Retail and Wholesale Group at Asset World Corporation Public Company Limited, stated, "AWC is committed to creating value for all stakeholders, including the community, society, and the environment, in line with our mission to 'create a better future.' AWC recognizes the importance of living standards and convenience for the people in the communities where we operate. Therefore, we have constructed the elevated walkway (SKY WALK) connecting Gateway at Bang Sue to the MRT Bang Po station to provide comfort and safety for the public, facilitating travel between both sides of Pracharat Road and the MRT Bang Po station, as well as for tourists visiting the shopping center. On the occasion of the 4th anniversary of Gateway at Bang Sue, we are pleased to hand over this elevated walkway to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration for the benefit of the community and to contribute to sustainable societal value."

It is located on Pracharat Road 2, in the median strip, with construction starting on November 25, 2020, and fully opened to the public in September 2022.

          "Throughout the past years, Gateway at Bang Sue has continuously contributed to improving the quality of life and building relationships with the Bang Sue community through various social activities, such as renovating and donating items to temples in the Bang Sue community and nearby areas. The construction of this elevated walkway (SKY WALK) represents a collaboration between the private sector, government, and the community to create societal value while supporting the government's energy-saving policy to reduce car usage for travel, thereby enhancing transportation standards and addressing traffic congestion at the Bang Po intersection and in the Bang Sue area, as well as developing Gateway at Bang Sue into a shopping center that comprehensively serves its users," Mr. Pheem added.
