The collaboration with NT promises to further enhance these capabilities, said Poramase.
“Pattaya is embracing the Smart City concept to enhance its appeal and livability. The city is suitable for all kinds of activities and has prime venues for conferences, seminars, academic gatherings, and exhibitions. Our partnership with NT will further improve these even further.”
Colonel Sapphachai expressed NT’s dedication to aiding Pattaya’s transformation through digital infrastructure. He emphasized that NT’s involvement will include the deployment of a 5G network, a smart city data platform, and the introduction of various smart service innovations.
