Valentine Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Ant updated tunnel pics or do they have to wait until the roof sections are all done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tapster Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Nobody has posted anything about how much the traffic has improved since they started to allow traffic heading north on Viset Road to filter onto Chao Fa East, a few weeks ago. Shame! Is only bad news newsworthy?!! I bet a lot of businesses are very happy with this change. We live in Rawai and had virtually given up going north of the circle! Recently we went to Villa Market for the first time in months, Happy Days for their (not too bad) Sunday roast, The Hogfather for great (but very expensive) craft beer and ribs, Agli Amici for pizza and Phuket Town a few times.???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tapster Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 But guys, I thought this 'old' thread was the default thread for all things to do with the underpass. People have been adding posts to this thread for months/years. And, I haven't seen any of these new threads on the Phuket forum. Ergo, I think this is less my problem than that of Thai Visa. Nevertheless, I'm not criticising anyone personally, so chill dudes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just like that the chaos returned today, as they re-opened the flow from Kata to Wiest Road East access the circle. With one change the traffic was once more backed up to Macro on the Rawai side.

Badrabbit Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 Bound to be a few problems, people only see the bad, I can see how great the completed underpass will be, being on a motorbike I have never had a problem so surely car drivers who have had problems since it started can now see just how great it's going to be.Sent from my SM-G610F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They closed Chaofa West in front of Homepro for a while yesterday afternoon for some big cherry picker type vehicle which had people working on the electric cables. Police were controlling the traffic, sending all the Patak Road traffic to Chaofa East. That was probably the reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G610F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app I and many others can envisage the advantages of the finished product, although there will always be the naysayers who oppose any attempt to improve traffic flow on the Island if it doesn't suit their personal needs. For me what rankles is the process, which involved a lack of planning, seeming idiocy in execution and outright lies about time lines. Before starting why didn't they plan and construct sensible alternatives for traffic flow during the construction phase. Why did they not properly plan for land acquisition, drainage problems and electric pole relocation? Why the long delays when the project seemingly ground to a halt? It'll be sublime when it's finished, but my great aunt could have organized it better! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple answer, this is not a western country this is Thailand where corruption is a Plague, we as visitors just need to let them get on with it, a few months more and the last few years will fade in our memories.

A good attitude from someone who sails past the construction on his bike. I feel for the people who get stuck in traffic on their way to work or taking the kids to school because they have to take a car. And what a change in demeanor from the guy who fell down a pot hole during the Tesco underpass construction. Some of your comments about locals then seem at odds with your laissez-faire attitude now.
