Popular Post Bangkok Barry Posted September 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2023 I find it incredible that, even in the centre of the city, people are forced to walk in the road as there are more often than not no sidewalks/pavements in the side sois. And those that are there are often commandeered by shops and food vendors. Hardly the 'world-class' image that the country tries to present, is it. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Only those born in the USA would be confused. The rest of the world are educated to identify both terms.???? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NONG CHOK Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Maybe the brains trust in Pattaya should follow the Bangkok program as the pavers used here are nothing short of pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogNo1 Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 The sidewalks in Bangkok are in poor shape. The ones along Wireless Road haven't had any maintenance work done on them for several years. Apparently Thailand wants to drastically increase the number of tourists, especially from China. The infrastructure seems destined to deteriorate more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
