the highways out of Bangkok are providing many job opportunities in both the formal and informal sectors. As a result, various types of housing are being developed along these corridors. A large number of industries are situated between Rangsit and AIT along the Paholyothin Highway between 32 to 42 Kilometers north

A number of housing estates a real o coming up in this area. This means that there exists a housing supply system through which a range of households, including persons working in this area, can
get access to affordable housing

case study urban-fringe area of Bangkok, an area with a large
amount of industrial developmett. The aim is to understand the housing supply precess in metropolitan expansion, particularly

scattered land parcels. The growth of population and the
development of various types of housing are very much stimulated by the growth of employment establishments in the area. The study
