As the CEO of Major Development Public Company Limited, Mrs. Phetlada Poonworlak has demonstrated an ambitious vision for Bangkok’s future development. Her plan is to expand the company’s portfolio into four strategic locations in Bangkok: Kanchanapisek, Phutthamonthon, Pattanakarn, and Ramkhamhaeng. The goal of this strategic initiative is to create a mix of commercial and residential districts in Bangkok, alleviating urban traffic congestion and expanding public transit routes to encompass the Light Red, Blue, Pink, Yellow, Green, and Purple lines.
Bangkok, a rapidly growing metropolis, has long faced severe traffic congestion. To address this, Mrs. Poonworlak recognizes that decentralizing commercial and residential developments to Bangkok’s outskirts is an effective solution. Kanchanapisek and Phutthamonthon are seen as gateways to the western and central provinces, positioning them as economic portals to the west. These areas are not only connected by an efficient transport network but are also equipped with a plethora of amenities including shopping centers, hospitals, and international schools. Consequently, they hold substantial potential for growth in both commercial and residential developments.

As Bangkok continues to expand, peripheral areas like Ramkhamhaeng have also come into focus. Regarded as a major hub in East Bangkok, Ramkhamhaeng connects to other key areas such as Asoke and Rama 9, boasting a wealth of amenities and transport connections. The continual expansion of the light rail system enhances the developmental potential of these regions, drawing increasing interest from developers and investors.
The Pattanakarn area is garnering attention due to its proximity to the inner city and premium communities. Here, property prices are rising, attracting the eyes of developers. Major Development has launched several projects in the area, including the ultra-luxurious standalone residential brand "10 & Only." The success of these projects is set to further enhance the area's real estate value and developmental prospects.

In addition to developer interest, government investments in infrastructure also support the development of these peripheral areas. For example, expansions of the light rail system and the construction of new transit routes make these areas more accessible, attracting more residents and investments. These initiatives not only help alleviate traffic pressure in central Bangkok but also lay the groundwork for the city's sustainable development.
Through these efforts, Mrs. Phetlada Poonworlak’s strategic planning promotes a future where Bangkok’s growth is not only concentrated in its core but flourishes across a broader geographic area, ensuring a resilient and dynamic urban development for Thailand's capital.
