Traffic came to a near standstill in Phichit province when a road developed a one metre deep and three metre wide sinkhole on Wednesday.

 

The road is located in Pho Prathap Chang district, which is close to Yom River. 

 

Initial investigation showed that constant rain had created a cavity under the road, which then collapsed. 

 

The area has been cordoned off to avoid accidents.

There is a grate at the bottom of the hole so this was a drainage problem, as is the case with most road or earth collapses.

Thailand couldn't afford the Roman labour, and they couldn't be bothered with all the immigration hassle.

Plus Thai spaghetti is s**t

Roads are built by Burmese on a budget, nuf said.

Sinkholes happen especially in countries with such huge rainfall. No matter how well the road is built if water undermines the foundation of the road it will collapse

Well that's contemporary Rome (you can see the contruction site with rebar sticking out in the middle). They sort of lost the touch since the Empire fell.
