The PM arrived at the Chalong Underpass area this morning to officially declare the controversial 350 metre underground road tunnel open. The roadworks took nearly four years to complete and caused financial pain, inconvenience and turmoil for both businesses and residents in the south of the island.

 

The Rawai Mayor Aroon Solos was part of the contingent trying to keep the PM safe as he met a group of his local supporters who were clambering for a chance to shake Prayut’s hand and sneak a quick photo.

 

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, aka. Uncle Tu, will spend this afternoon at Cape Panwa then fly back to Bangkok later this afternoon.

Does the first picture remind anyone of this?

Are they having a seance where they're all touching the spark generating sphere?

A message from the spirit world telling them how many days before the first fatality in the newly opened tunnel of death?

He IS the messiah! (and I should know as I've followed a few ;-))

No he's not. He's a very naughty boy.

Hahahaha yeah .. You can imagine the sphere thinking " Sssh don't say a thing .. they might go away " .. But in the event of them reaching the spirit's switchboard they could also check if any of the dead buddies want the quality timepieces back ..

So, Chalong Underpass has now been operational for several months but the traffic in all other directions other that Chafa East-Wiset Road is as bad as it's ever been.

 

It wasn't too bad until in the past few weeks when, for some reason, the police have decided to control the traffic there during the busy periods and they have totally screwed it up! They don't have a clue about traffic flow on roundabouts; they stop traffic on the rundabout itself to let one lane throuh, which in turn manages to block other exits until the traffic is at a standstill in all directions. I've started using the cut-throughs to Patak Road from Chaofa East again and will continue to do so until the BiB return to their Candy Crush and Spider Solitaire.

 

I had predicted this would happen!
