  This report describes the improvement of the Beam Position Monitoring (BPM) systems for the 1.2 GeV storage ring of the Siam Photon Source (SPS). The systematic studies and investigations for improving the machine performance, and storage ring BPM system has been carried out in the last few years. Some major technical problems have been found and solved. The inefficiency and unreliability of the original BPM system were also identified. They are mainly caused due to the use of low quality signal and improper installation of cables. Detailed descriptions of the replacement with the higher quality (lower loss and better interference shielding) BPM cables and implementation of a separated cable trays for the BPM cables, as well as the work on BPM electronic board calibration will be described. The measurement results before and after the improvement of the BPM system will also be presented.
