RandiRona Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 That is not a ditch, it's a gap between highway roads or flyovers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebell Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 According to police figures over Songkran, most accidents happened on straight roads. Why do Thais have this suicidal penchant for veering off the straight and not-so-narrow? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(3) One less of these local male jerks in pickups to worry about. Couple days ago on Beach Rd in front of Hard Rock: one of these pickup jerks parked then proceeds to make a U turn heading North the wrong way , then shortly makes another U turn and proceeds South. No amount of driver education can prevent these people not playing with a full deck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually get 2-3 cars or trucks coming at me the wrong way down the railway line Rd every 6 months. More likely on holidays when there are Thai tourists about.... Mind you, the road has been there since about 2006 and there still isn't any no entry signs or one way road signs telling folks it is a dual carriageway. When it first opened they couldn't actually make their minds up on that and it was 2 way each side of the tracks for a spell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Meeseeks Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I see crashed pickups in these drainage ditches fairly regularly on my way to and from work in Laem Chabang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
