Traffic Chaos Unleashed in Udon Thani: Contractor Accused of Negligence

If you didn’t understand Thailand you wouldn’t believe this.

Once you understand Thailand you expect it

Here in AUSTRALIA the unbroken YELLOW line means "NO STOPPING" and "NO PARKING" !!!

I guess in TH they use WHITE for the same purpose ???

Hilarious! I was always wondering how long it would take, until Thais get sick and tired of what resident non-Thais got excited much earlier on without any possibility of getting their concerns heard.

Yeah, so what? 

 

Farang OCD like my wife?

 

If I park the car and the wheels aren't straight, she'll start it up again and straighten them.

 

C'mon .  Loosen up. 

 

Everything in the world is curved, even your dick. 😄

 

 

And she is right. It is not the correct thing in Thailand to park with wonky wheels. Also must leave the handbrake off and out of gear.

 

If the wheels are not straight how can the car be pushed in a straight line?

 

Top marks for Mrs SSP419.

I have never been able to find out what the purpose of the white line about 1 foot from the curb is ?

I am of the opinion that it is irrelevant as people here ignore any and all road signage anyway.

Obviously a 'not my job'. But In Udon, unlike Pattaya, roads have improved drastically in the last 10 years, with a few exceptions. In our village alone there have been 5 stretches of road resurfaced in the last 4 months, lots of it with nice smooth tarmac. And they no longer need repairing 12 months later! The ring road is now close to western motorway standard.
