Bobthegimp Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 It might be worth a try. Between songtaews and delivery trucks the soi can be very time consuming to navigate, and that's on a scooter. It would have to run from Klang to Pattaya Tai in order to loop with Second Road. The right turn onto Pattaya Tai would be much worse than it is now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bbko Posted November 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2023 I'm all for a trial run (if it doesn't work, they can switch back right?), but I hope they post some traffic cops along the route to stop those motorbikes/food carts from going the opposite direction. 2 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably did, but it wasn't practical and now people turn right there. There's a similar situation at Soi Bongkot and Theprisit Rd, where one must turn left and travel a few hundred meters before doing a U-turn towards the beach. No bitterness or criticism from me as one can empathize with how difficult it is to make changes to traffic flows on roads with such heavy usage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus there's many options to make a right turn before Pattaya Tai, like Soi DIana, Soi Honey, Soi New Plaza. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now get out the way. I'm more important than you. Ì was walking down a one-way soi with the traffic once and a guy on a motorsai almost ran me over from behind. I made the mistake of reminding him that it was one-way, he stopped and said he has lived in the soi for 50 years and who am I to be telling him that. My GF who was with me at the time suggested that if I liked living just zip it in the future. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When walking down a one-way street without a pavement you should walk against the traffic, not with it. 2 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct, I should have said walking against the traffic, which is something I always do when there is no footpath. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ban lots of things banned but they are never enforced, they banned baht any buses a few years ago from Buakhao but it was never enforced. Buakhao should be closed to traffic pedestrians only between Soi Diane and Pattaya Klang from 7 at night. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post biggeoff69 Posted November 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2023 A Policeman stopped me once for going the wrong way. He said this is a one way soi. So I replied sorry but I am only going one way, he didn't even smile. 555 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHdiver Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I hope they will do the trial like monday to wednesday southbound, thursday both ways and the rest of the week northbound. That way people get slowly used to the new regime After a month it will be decided witch direction is the best. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailand49 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I would put a bet if I could this wont work and make a mint. As noted it is hot air just like banning the Songthaw more recent no bikes parking in from of Treetown that lasted two weeks🤣 It all comes down to enforcement which is always zero. When it comes to Baukhao it is just a poorly design Soi, narrow, no sidewalks and no parking! Making it one way will just create Chaos elsewhere 3rd 2rd, Klang and Tai. It would be better to just make sois from 3rd,2nd, one way every other that leads into Baukhao, reduced deliveries any size truck for example early morning 4 till noon. Last limit the number of Songthaw by 50% designate them yellow and space them out or rid them replace with a tram system. Whatever transportation in place can only travrel up and down Baukhao all other destination will need to work themselves up to 3rd 2nd,Klang,Tai. this Soi best you getting is to reduce the volume.

MrJ2U Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 It'll increase traffic on 3rd road. Eventually promoting more bars and restaurants. Nothing wrong with that. I remember Soi Bhukauw being a dirt road with some nice houses along the route. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd have to make them one way too, like between Beach Rd and 2nd Rd, alternately as they already get clogged. And sois connecting buakhao and 3rd. I hope they've thought this through. 🤣🤣🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
