I noticed a lot of dangerous spots on Klang only yesterday, which was supposedly completed some months back. One stretch had been damaged by cars driving over into the Bangkok bank area by Foodland.... I am still limping from a twisted ankle from a few months back courtesy of Pattaya sidewalks. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post brianthainess Posted January 29 Popular Post Share Posted January 29 Were they actually working on it at the time? why was the construction area not cordoned off? who leaves wire mesh where pedestrians walk? Who pays the hospital bill? The construction companies insurance should pay, not the Tourist's. When will Thailand ever understand about safety, this poor blokes holiday could be ruined and city councils should be made to pay out compensation to all those unsafe procedures around the country that injure people on a regular basis, they employ the contractors! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
