Phang Nga:

Chonabot, Khon Kaen, High Street.

The village/town where I live.

We have 1 bank, 1 Tesco and 1, 7/11.

But we have about 30 coffee shops and to my last count, 90 Mom and Pop shops.

Heavy Load - Bangkok

Continueing with roadworks in our village.

The machine you see above while it is self propelled here when it is actually working it carries a large amount of water onboard and is towed by this

truck loaded with cement.

The road to be repaired was 1st covered with coarse blue metal then this rigup went to work with the truck putting down a layer of cement and the

machine behind grinding the old surface and adding the required amount of water to the mix.The picture below shows the part that does all the work.

Layer of cement

Comes out like this

It is then straight away rolled with one of those vibrating rollers.

The water truck you see above is just laying the dust to keep the residents happy.

The repaired section ( about 1km ) will then be graded and rolled over the next day or so then eventually topped with Hotmix.

Thanks Ron, nice photo report!

Would love, our city get one of these combinations, impressive, looks so "first world"!

Great Ron, that explains it all! ^

Area of Samui, not usually on my beaten track! Night clubs and bars .....

This is the grader spreading the blue metal on top of the section to be repaired.

Congested Bangkok roads.

Angry Tourists of Bangkok

^ Still doing research for BC's Koh Samui holiday?

No taken a while before.....If BC wants to go to that area, I won't be heading there too... not my cup of tea!

Perhaps up some side roads.... soon the cement completely turns to sand tracks!

Really like that leading line in the previous post Jimmy!

May I give you the address of my village in E-San?

and you will give it to these workers, so they can come with their trucks to my village and do a new road we are waiting for since about 8 years;
