Sinking scandal: Pattaya’s new footpaths crumbling already

[jippytum]

A Pattaya city official outraged by poor 

quality constuction work. 

Follow the money trail and check work under constuction before final payment would help.

Just another fine example of Thai workmanship....

[kimothai]

Poor workmanship seems to be common when it comes roads and sidewalks.  It's mostly foreign workers doing the heavy lifting, and the Thais just supervise.  Soi 15 (between 2nd road and soi Bukhao) was only redone a couple of years ago and it already has holes and crumbling concrete.

Conspiracy theorists would say they intentionally build cr ap quality roads so they get repeat business and bungs all round

 

nah, in bangkok they regularly rip up perfectly food pavements and replace, usually waiting several months between the rippimg up and replacing.
