Traffic congestion has continued to build up on the inbound section of Phetchaburi Road since early Tuesday after a large hole, possibly a sink hole, opened up near the entrance to the expressway.

 

The Phaya Thai police station was alerted at 5am that a hole one-metre-wide and 1.5-metre-long had appeared at the spot.

 

A pickup truck had to be hauled out after its front right wheel fell into the hole, causing the vehicle to be stuck there.

 

Police put up traffic cones to block the section, causing a bottleneck and resulting in long lines of vehicles.

 

Repairs to the road are expected to be completed by late morning.

Maybe it's one of those deported Russians digging himself back into Thailand?

It looks like the famous Thai "black hole" to me, you all know the one, that's right where 60% of the countries revenues end up to later to appear in offshore tax haven accounts of the rich and famous, Thai Junta , military men and of course those "others"  and/or heavy investment in European properties. ????????

 

And of course they keep re-appearing from time to time even after the poor downtrodden normal Thais have been instructed to fill them up by the above groups of persons, paying the poor souls 350 baht a day to do so.

Would look much better if there was a tree branch or bit of wood sticking out if it ..
