Chiang Mai Mail reporters

At a recent meeting held at Khun Chern restaurant on Nimmanhaemin road with the Chief of Traffic Police Pol. Col. Sittichai Thananchai another change in plans was announced. The one way sois will now begin at Soi 5 instead of soi 3 and end at Soi 15 instead of Soi 17. Soi 3 and Soi 17 will remain two way. The center soi that is parallel to Nimmanhaemin will run one way, North, for the duration of the test period. Soi 5 will be one way from Sirimangkalarn west towards Nimmanhaemin Road while Soi 7 will be one way from Nimmanhaemin to Sirimangkalajarn, with each soi alternating until Soi 15.

The launch of the one way system has now been delayed until February 1 and will run for the month of February after which police will evaluate the system.

Parking on side sois will remain restricted to alternate days and the enforcement of no right turns onto Nimmanhaemin will be in force for 7 hours a day during peak traffic.

But in fairness, with that level of detail it sure passes as "organised chaos".

Recipe for disaster. Glad i moved away some time ago. Will be like a Mr Bean episode watching this unfold.

I think most Thai will ignore all rules anyway.

They do now anyway.

Are they going to allow driving and parking on the side walks?

Well, the merchants spoke, and their servants quailed.

Money talks, bullshit walks.

Can anyone suggest a good viewpoint for day one? Preferably coffee and a wifi connection for minute by minute updates on ThaiVisa.

Spell checker messed up "wais"

Who's on first.

Who's on first.

The two old chaps from the balcony on The Muppet Show are booked.

There is no mention of Nimmanhamin being one-way. Does this mean the one-way experiment will only apply to the sois between Nimmanhamin and Sirimangkalarn?

Who's on first.

No Watt's on first. Who's on second.

How amusing.....the expression "in a brewery" springs to mind!

Must admit, that until the other day I Assumed that what is soi 3 was actually soi 5.

You can die in Thighland of anything but Bordom.

Did I really read "Thailand," "traffic," and "enforcement" in the same paragraph?

"Chief of Traffic Police"......that's a 'challenging' job... ...I didn't know they had one..

The plan doesn't seem to have favorable reviews from the locals so far.

The majority thinks it will be the "mission impossible".

Seems appropriate:
