Pattaya should concentrate more on infrastructure deficits such as better roads and sewer systems........

No, this is simply another regular maintenance item that has been left to deteriorate for many years. It got to a point where it was dangerous to go into the tunnel from the bright sunlight into the dark gloom.... and trying to get headlights on, sunglasses off....

Yes. It happened to me. No lights in the tunnel and driving into pitch blackness from bright sunlight. Scary. I wrote about this more than a month ago. I wonder if any accidents have occured in the tunnel since then?

Always use the right-hand lane.  That way you can (usually) stay clear of the Somchai's whose scooters' ran out of gas half way through.

Finally.  Far more were burned out than still functioning.  Apparently following The Moving Walkway Book of Maintenance.
