    Here in Asia I never ever step on one of these covers. I don't even have to think about it anymore. It is a reflex. 

  • Hope you stuck a twig in there to warn other pedestrians ????

  • Correct….but according to long established safety procedures there needs to be a plastic bag attached to the stick to ensure maximum visibility. Clearly, the rash, poorly thought out decision to stop

Don't know but I hear there's a  General's post opening up for that position.

Actually this is more normal.  And broke a record for going about a year before this: Pattaya North up from beach.

That's nothing Pattaya now has the worst roads in Thiland largely due to their incompetent corrupt capital expenditure projects designed to improve the roads and drainage.  The Romans would be embarrassed by such road building.

Correct….but according to long established safety procedures there needs to be a plastic bag attached to the stick to ensure maximum visibility. Clearly, the rash, poorly thought out decision to stop handing out plastic bags has had a disastrous effect on pedestrian safety.

To keep the examples going . . .

 

Last year, a friend stepped on one end of a cover and down he went on Pattaya Klang. Waist deep in sewer water. Severely injured his lower ribs, plus leg and hand scrapes. After that, I never stepped on one. When you start dodging these sidewalk covers, you realize just how many dozens there are in a single trip.

And if that had happened during a heavy rainstorm your friend could have been going down the river in a pipe.

When people visit my from abroad and I walk with them and they see how I avoid all covers on pavements and roads and elsewhere they always think at the beginning something must be wrong with me... 

maybe it's a good idea after all

- the leave the footpaths for the motorcycles to use ALL for themselves...

The best thing to happen to those jerks is statistics. The sidewalks, the promenade a total shi*tshow. Families , high-end visitors ??

It might not have happened if the owner of the Mercedes had parked on the road, not on the pavement. But who am I kidding?
