the road bends to the LEFT. Sited in the meridian strip there are four chevrons pointing to the RIGHT!

I have an idea. Try right, and tell us how it worked out for you.

Chevrons are usually white V shaped painted on the road. Give us a clue please.

You see the picture from the net that I posted.

Google "chevron signs" on your own please.

I just come back from a 40 km roundtrip.

These signs are everywhere on the highways and ours point where they should.

Talk about incorrect signage. 200 metres from our local school, and schools in other places, there is 30 on a blue background ie Minimum Speed. 100 meters later they are correct.

The chevrons point toward the median to warn of danger, not to guide the road’s direction.

Chevrons usually indicate an upcoming bend or curve and would, as you say, point towards the median.

Ok, so, to you guys who are trying to convince the saner people on this forum that right means left and vice versa, take a look at the photo below.

It was taken by me at the "roundabout" at the southern end of Patong beach road, Phuket, in 2020.

I challenge you to argue that there is nothing wrong with the signage!

I have since looked at the location on Google maps and, am pleased to notice that the ridiculously confusing arrows/chevrons have been removed.

What does “ours” mean here? Do you own some chevrons, or sell them? (Or maybe roads??)

And some vandal's gone and painted 'Jomtien Second Rd' on the asphalt, too. What is this town coming too, lol?

These are so that the regular helicopter patrols know where they are!  🙂

Left was out of stock :biggrin:

You could always try simply turning them around before attaching them to a pole!

I suspect that the road does not need any directional guidance, does it?  Unlike those driving along it.

To me it looks like some drunken wag has gone along the road and twisted the signs through 180 degrees and I've thought that from the beginning.  But this being Thailand, maybe the sign installers had just run out of left chevrons.  We're in the land of smiles.
