jacko45k Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 If it is concrete it will bake to be 60 degC , if semi-transparent, it will be like a greenhouse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandolphGB Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Months of consultations will follow and millions of baht spent on untraceable companies and contractors. Only to decide it’s not needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotchilli Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 If it looks anything like the artists impression I hope the wind doesn't blow at the same time as it rains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with Randolph above. How many times have we read about overhead monorails? Quite simply the baht bus drivers will never allow it, nor their partners in crime - the BIB.

PETERTHEEATER Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 A sympethetic design. Those who don't want to get wet when it rains can stand under cover whilst hardier folks can stand in the open.......To support that weight the pier will need reinforcement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisY1 Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 This Bali Hai pier has scammed billions over the years…to officials of course. So now more budget allocated…more skimming allowed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
