CDNinKS Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Overloaded trucks are what are destroying Thai roads. The best laid concrete or tarmac can not stand up to these ridiculous loads transported in Thailand. Glad to see that there are weigh stations being constructed on the hiway into/out of BKK from the south. Of course all the truckers will find a detour around those the day after they are opened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livinthailandos Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 on a few areas I just want to point into this topic a. Lets just admit regardless the old mayor & other factors really did hardly little to improve much b. It would be hard to not deny the fact that at least with the new mayor I've seen more things done is less time than that I did before, examples include new sidewalks ( bophut area ) new road improvements being put down more drainage being put in Today in bophut driving down they've been putting down the new road similiar to the one in lamai and nathon mind you this is still thailand but given what i've seen i'm amazed that any improvement has been made at all. Mind you I still wish for a better sewage system, electric infrastructure. but hey at least we actually have something positive to say at least for now.

Yes I agree but he (the mayor) doesn't seem to have any control of the Harbour Department and we are losing beaches to land encroachers at an increasing rate. For example Chaweng Noi (Sarann Resort), Langhams Resort and opposite Koh Mud Lang ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birdman Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 So next step would be to lie all the cables under the ground...plant palm trees along the street... btw there are new street lights at Choeng Mon too. Same style like in Bangrak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric1949 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Tarmacing stopped? Just did an island circuit yesterday, it appears to have stopped by the Fisherman's Village lights on the northern sector and near the courthouse on the southern. They are also putting new road markings on the concrete road between Bohput and Maenam. Is that it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
