Renovations raise eyebrows
Bangkok Post

B1bn sought for year-old parliament
Criticism is mounting against parliament's request for a billion baht in additional budget for renovations, despite the new chambers only opening last year.
Critics, including several MPs from the People's Party, slammed the decision ahead of deliberating the 3.78-trillion-baht 2026 budget.
The bill was approved by the cabinet during its mobile meeting in Nakhon Phanom on April 29.
Among a number of contentious proposals are requests for 113 million baht to fund the refurbishment of parliament's Sala Kaeo (Crystal Pavilion), and a 180-million-baht sum to install a 4D cinema within the complex.
Parliament has defended the initiative, saying the “cinema” will, in fact, be an information room for visitors.
