Locals in Muang district of Krabi went to Siam Rath for help because of the deplorable state of a popular road that leads to many tourist attractions and ports popular with foreign visitors. 

 

At a T-junction called Nong Thua Raet they found three meter long ruts, 20-25 centimeters wide and 10 cm deep.

 

Local Krajang Sobutr fears out of town tourists could have serious accidents particularly on rented motorcycles.

 

Even the locals with low vehicles with heavy loads are in trouble. 

 

Many times they have reported the trouble but someone just comes along with a bucket of asphalt and fills it it.

 

It doesn't last. The holes appear again and are even worse than before. 

 

Krajang wants to see a more permanent solution to stop people coming off their bikes.

 

Apart from leading to tourism attractions and ports it is also a main route to the Ao Nang beach. 

 

Pre-andemic that area was a kind of "mini-Scandinavia" notes ASEAN NOW.

If there is a hazard a person can be injured.  It doesn’t matter who the person is, or where they are from 

Being a Thai or foreigner is irrelevant 

 

 

 

 

Correct you are thinking logically in the real world, alas Thailand sometimes lives in the Twilight zone!

Perhaps a bit of hyperbole in the headline?

 

To swallow a tourist whole, 3m x 25 cm x 10 cm doesn't quite hack it, one feels. Throw in a bike as well and it's very indigestible.
