Warehouse Worker, 23, Killed in Motorcycle Collision with Parked Truck
Never stops...rear ending parked trucks seems to be an occupational hazard here.....nothing to do with dark visors...texting on phones....being pissed....and of course there's the tales of how the accidents happened by witnesses....

Thailand’s first F1 race planned for Bangkok’s Chatuchak by 2027
I don't think Thailand will host the F1....however, if they did, it would cost a fraction of the costs of the Australian race..... The disruption to locals would be ignored...the roads would be re-surfaced....and there'd be BBQ pork sticks everywhere!

Many BKK beggars were "owned" by gangs....send them off in the morning...keep a watch on them during the day, and collect in the evening. Not sure if that's still the case

Three Dead, Dozens Injured as Steel Beams collapse on Rama II Road
That's actually how these travelers operate. They hoist the segments into position, then push the stressing strands through ducts, tension these strands and grout everything. The operation would likely take 7 days at least, to complete

Three Dead, Dozens Injured as Steel Beams collapse on Rama II Road
A catastrophe is what it is! This looks like a "traveller" has collapsed....the truss structure that lifts the segments from the road level off trucks. Unbelievable that at this stage in this nightmarish project, that such a disaster could happen! As #SHA 2 BKK states....much of the roadway now is badly in need of repair.....so many overloaded trucks and very narrow lanes, make this 40 kms a scary drive!

Man in His 60s Falls to Death While Repairing Warehouse Roof in Chonburi
I made the stupid mistake on using cement roofing....absolute and utter crap! Most of the color came off, many of the roof pieces have cracks...impossible to walk on and really should be banned. That this died after falling through is not the least surprising....it's like walking on egg shells!
