Pattaya City is partly blocking off yet another road to fix a drainage problem that had just been fixed.

 

Local media reported that Pattaya locals residing on Pattaya Third Road near the Moom Aroi restaurant are complaining about the beginning of a new roadwork to install a drainage system and some large underground pumps.

 

The Thai media said the project is taking up two lanes or about 50 meters of Pattaya Third Road, resulting in travel difficulties although this particular spot, according to the media, had previously gone through a drainage-laying project several months ago, which was supposed to be completed already according to the city’s announcement.

Another corrupti--I mean, roadworks project.

No planning on these projects at all........sorry, there is a plan; plan for the city officials to increase their bank accounts as the projects just keep rolling on with no end in sight! How many times has this road been fixed , and don't get me started on the number of times beach road has been improved !

Yep, spent a while queuing there last Sunday with the existing "repairs", trying to get the lad and his friends to the Go-Kart track.

"...to fix a drainage problem that had just been fixed."

I would take issue with idea that "problem had just been fixed". If they have to go work on it again, that seems to indicate the problem wasn't "fixed" before..... more fixes, more envelopes: where's the problem?

The exact completion date is not in the report, The Pattaya News notes.

It appears to have been completed already.........Or they have cleared all the cones for the weekend.

 

Didn't cause that many issues that I could see and since I live round the corner from it I think I would have noticed.
