Yep, rainy season should be just about over in 1 month, so that sounds about right! ????

Absolutely about time, in fact decades late.

 

However I'll take a bet that in 30 days time:

 

- Very little will have been achieved, and

- The subject has gone to sleep, again.

 

 

800,000 drain covers is suspiciously the same amount as we have to have in our bank accounts. Hmmmmm

The governor might also introduce a juicy fine for all those street kitchens pouring/throwing whatever is left into the gutter. 

Ever saw what comes out if over-pressured drainage pipes blow off the manhole lid on a lower Sukhumvit Soi? Absolutely amazing what swims by you; none of it is degradable waste. What goes in - comes out; maybe stop Khon Thai putting it in - in the first place ????

All very well repairing the drain cover - which will probably just be poking the holes clear with sticks - its what's beneath the cover that's the potential bigger problem

Excellent, because sometimes those drain covers put me in a bad mood and there is no telling what can happen when I get home!

Get arrested for damaging the image and all that stuff

way back in about 1980 as a young man I stepped into a open manhole on a dark soi footpath and took about 10 inches of my shin flesh off thank goodness I was half-cut as it seemed to help the pain if I remember rightly. I wonder if that hole is still there lol lol ?
