Popular Post Rimmer Posted June 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2019 Pattaya pulls down illegal signs PATTAYA:--Pattaya workers have removed illegal signboards blocking drivers’ vision on Sukhumvit Road near Jittapawan College. City workers pulled down the billboards and placards put up without permission May 31 from the college to the city limits. City officials said the signs are prohibited because they not only block the sight lines of drivers, they also make the city look tatty. -- PATTAYA MAIL 2019-06-04-- 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post smedly Posted June 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2019 if they put as much effort into clearing up rubbish I walked past a pile out in the open on Klang just laying there - it included a discarded toilet (I kid you not) but instead the are removing signs, we all know the reasons - if you want to put a sign there pay up Money Number one Ignore the piles of rubbish everywhere because there is no money to be gained removing it 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bluesofa Posted June 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2019 Wouldn't it be a good idea to remove the gigantic TV screens on the side of many roads, as these can only be dangerous distraction to drivers. Or is that getting too near becoming a 'nanny state'? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond the glaringly obvious safety issues....those things are visually hideous monstrosities that should be beyond illegal. I'd wager you won't find a single one of those eyesores anywhere near any of the General's castles, palaces, mansions, chateaus, villas, or estates.

The eye-sore bundles of cable, communications wires disappear as well on Naklua So 16, in front of the mansion halfway between Naklua Road and the curve to Wongamat. One doesn't want to spoil the esthetics of the architecture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotweiler Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Forget about the signs. The sidewalk! The pic in the original post shows a sidewalk. Level. No holes. No protruding pieces of concrete! WOW! Certainly NOT Chiang Mai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
