Bangkok's governor Chadchart Sittipunt spoke to the media after he attended an event promoting "Colorful Bangkok" and the launch of a website called bangkokartcity.org.

 

INN reported that the governor had set up a committee to investigate after complaints on Facebook about slow work to bury cables in the Thai capital.

 

Two projects being done by the municipal electrical authority and on behalf of the governor have run into lengthy delays of two months.

 

These have caused headaches for residents of Bangkok due to traffic jams.

Rama 3 is a mess with all those digs along its way for almost 10 years now due to the cable work, not to mention the damage to the cars having to go over those temporary covers at high speed (going slow is not an option as you will be run over by others).

I seem to remember the re build of Thappraya Road went on for years with no sight of the contractors at all.
