Residents build own flood-control system after Pattaya’s 3-million-baht project fails

 

PATTAYA:--Central Pattaya residents are putting their hands in their own pockets to resolve flooding problems after the city spent nearly 3 million baht on a project that didn’t work.

 

Amnuay Muangthong of the Soi Arunothai Community said Pattaya spent 1.9 million baht to rebuild sois Charoensuk and Udomsuk and lay new drainage pipes to resolve chronic flooding.

The construction finished in January but the flooding didn’t.

 

It turns out the drains installed at each end of Soi Arunothai are too small, sending water shooting down the small sidestreets, just as it did before.

Weird that one,I thought a couple of square 4 inch drains wouldnt cost 3 million baht and could handle 20,000 litres a minute but I might be wrong.

Thought this was all solved years ago when pesky smokers got the blame for butt blocking drains have they checked the drains for now illegal discarded ecigs????
