thaibear Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Call me old fashioned but shouldn't a Stadium and Major Sports facility have decent access/egress roads? TiT the plan is to plan to deal with it afterwards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just behind the Indoor Stadium, been there for years, but never seemed to be complete. If you drive down Soi 87 from the reservoir you can see it on your left, just after the turnoff to the old jet ski park. Youll see it when you go to the Burapa Bike week, haha, the 3 days plus the few days leading up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucius verus Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Do Thais know what a curator is? If they do he certainly will have his work cut out. I played footy at the oval near klong toey rama 1V. Ripped my kneecap open on a sharp rock embedded in the grass. Pot holes not uncommon on these fake grounds.
