50-100cms.... that's like 1 metre? Could snorkel in there

[Foghorn]

You all look at the negatives, think of the positive thailand to be Olympic champion swimmers

[bluedoc]

Same as in EU when they keep repeating that winter is cold and summer is hot...

news are so ridiculous, this is why we call journabitches people who "write" and publish them !

Sigh.
Here is the original pic found on a Facebook post in June 2017:                                      and here is the photoshopped pic (not sure where they got these from).
    

The site that had these pics apparently got them from a different site but didn't provide a link to that site.

I believe he would clear them out, but of course it will take time.

 

And note, in the past nobody has made any attempt to clear these leeches out of Thai politics.

The railway bypass road was there long before Prayut became Commander in Chief of the military. (He was promoted to that position in 2010 after spending the previous year as an honorary adjutant to the king.)
I was living on the Darkside before then and the bypass road had already been there quite awhile.

The railway road was finished in 2008, and took 18 months from start to finish.

Even with the new water drain system along Beach road

it seems that a lot of sand have been removed from the beach 

into the sea by the flood coming from Soi 6 area.

This mess is an endless work in progress.

Yes, the disruption to life over the years when they dig up roads lay new drains time and time again, months of disruption to traffic and business, but the floods go in a few hours, been well over a year doing drains on beach road, i bet it makes no difference

[pattayadude]

yeah! If you keep covering the earth with your stupid concrete, the climate will change so drastically that downpours that used to last minutes will now last hours and we all eventually and literally gonna be drowned in  floods and in the $hithole we dug during the last century...Great work humankind! keep on multiplying like rabbits!

Yeah I was out earlier on Soi Khao Noi, and the railway line bypass rd, and fortunately back home ahead of all this. 

Remind me again, how many years have they been working on the Railway drainage scam?

[pixelaoffy]

If you notice the beach road so called ' improvement' what was done  for drainage and dealing with flooding  ? Barely anything ! Couldn't organize a p*** up in a brewery !

It was built as a dry weather bypass, but became too popular!

Will be interesting when electricity and communication cables are buried under flooded ground.  ????

[Henryford]

So digging up every road in Pattaya last year did nothing.

[johng]

Thais love driving through floods  even on 2 stroke bikes !
