Popular Post DiDiChok Posted August 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2023 When someone can advise this "Brit" what a "y'all" is, what it eats and where it lives, perhaps I could start caring as well. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally, a line of small traffic cones giving the workers about 2 ft of space, with traffic passing at 50 mph, is more than adequate, lol.

It was a safety operation... no traffic under heavy lifts. Sukhumvit was only partially closed for a few hours, so just a minor and temporary inconvenience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
