Safety Concern

Construction company's

Should Construction companies be held liable for sand/mud run off from their sites onto the road.

They cut into the side of the hills and start the foundations of their million dollar villas with no safety in mind for the motorist driving passed the site - I've seen numerous accidents where a person travelling on a bike hit this sand or mud which ended up in a crash. There's not even as much as a caution sign on the road alerting the drivers to slow down

One really bad area at the moment is north Chaweng, instead of turning left to the airport keep going straight, don’t know the name of the construction company building on the left hand side but whoever they are they have no regard for safety.

Does Samui have a road sweeping truck?

I see the more responsible companies do. For example where the new Big C is now, there were more or less 2 staff permanently outside sweeping and cleaning up after any runoff debris and soil left behind from the site vehicles. Good for them. Saying that also, one of the things I really like about Thailand is the lack of 'nannying' and not millions of patronizing signs telling us all what we already know. As they say, ชีวิตใครชีวิตมัน

Of course they should be held liable but we all know that doesn't mean anything here. The word Thai and Responsibility do not go together.

i wonder if somebody fell off a motor bike outside a construction site due to the sand and rubble on the road ,instructed a lawyer and won damages ,how quickly samui would clean itself up ,only needs 1 high profile case ,important thai ,influential farang ,and we would get cleaner streets within 24 hours ........sorry i was dreaming :o
