This is a map showing the land use zoning in Bangkok. After searching for Bangkok’s zoning color code, I found the designations in their Warm Welcome to City Planning Department – Bangkok Metropolitan Administration document. Red is commercial, blue is government institutes/public utilities/ off-white amenities, is Thai art and culture conservation, brown is high-density residential, orange is medium-density residential, yellow is low-density residential, purple is industrial, green striped is rural and agricultural conservation, and solid green is rural and agricultural. This depicts that the center of the city is general where business and commerce is prevalent, housing is generally compact and close together, and population density tends to disperse the farther one gets from the city center.
