So many vehicles have crashed into that monument lately, perhaps it should be painted safety yellow so the pissed can spot it!

 

Is it just me or has there been an incredible amount of horrific crashes on Thepkasatri Road in recent times?  I'm thinking Patong Hill would be  safer these days than on the speedway!

No it is not just you, there have been some horrific accidents recently involving buses, vans and pick ups carrying school students and aged persons, and nobody seems to care
