Ban Chang Road Wetting

[charlenemills]

Lately I have noticed big tanker trucks (the kind that carry liquids) sprinkling the main roads around where I live in Ban Chang. These are not the trucks that sprinkle the plants in the middle of the divided roads. These are only sprinkling the roads themselves. These roads are all paved and not dusty. Somehow this recalls for me the Times Beach Missouri incident, where a small contractor was paid to take away chemical wastes from a plant manufacturing agent orange. He disposed of it by sprinkling it on the roads. The town was destroyed, totally. The big Maptaput Industrial Park is, at most, 5 km from here. I may be being an alarmist, but does anyone have an idea why this is being done.

Wikipedia has an article on the incident, just do a Google for: Times Beach Missouri incident

If you have a Thai mate, I'd have them check with your village/apartment manager and see if they know.

Scary stuff indeed.

When was the last time you saw this and at what time and day?

I bloody hope not, I live on the 3376 and Ive seen these (water) trucks spraying all over the road. Oneday I got soaking wet from them while out on my bike. Will have to ask the wife if I glow in the dark.

I see these trucks almost daily at payun road. I thought they were just cleaning the dirt of the road.

This has been done as long as I've been here (almost 20 years). Most of the time, (as far as I know) they are just spraying the roads to dissipate earth, clay, and other materials that has fallen from delivery / excavation trucks due to the large amount of new construction in the area.

you are correct they normally water the road when they are carrying fill dirt from one location to the next.
