PHUKET: An open drainage ditch running alongside Saiyuan Rd in Rawai is set to remain a health and safety hazard while Rawai Municipality irons out delays in having the ditch converted to a covered drain beside the road under a contract that started last year.

 

The drainage ditch, which runs from the pond beside The Palm Breeze Resort to the three-way intersection with turnoffs to Kata and Nai Harn, is covered in some parts, but exposed, filthy and dangerous along other sections beside the road.

 

Most recently a driver accidentally landed his car in the drain, which ended up nose-down, mired in the muck.

Suggest just to stay on the black stuff  ????

I find the two posters on the left quite ironic given the driver's predicament.

Please allow me to give you a clue.................A SOLID WHITE LINE along the side of the road is usually a fairly good indicator that it is the kerbside.

Ive just drove past that although you say the solid white line that road is not wide enough to park like that, infact that is the only place where you could park along that section their mistake is the pulled over to far.

It's still full of dirty water I think it should have concrete slabs on top at night that would be hard to see as it is over grown also
