David48 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Thanks Boater for sharing this ... BUT But clearly, who ever designed the sick-on Pot holes is not a bike rider. Should a bike rider have an accident and these stickers showed to contribute to them in any way (excessive breaking to avoid the fake pot-hole, loss of traction passing over the vinyl ... etc ... I'd be sueing the ass of the local/state/national authority who placed them there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spud67 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Never heard of fake potholes being used here. Given the markings on the road in the top 2 pics (Feels like power suspension), I would say that someone took a guerrilla marketing campaign and used it for their own purposes - potholes on Samui.

samuijimmy Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Of course there are no Pot holes in the UK? http://www.potholes.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooo Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 A bit misleading with that picture of big potholes in the tarmac Boater.I don't know of any holes that big on the ring road or tarmac that thick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Correct, all tarmac on Samui is laid over concrete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokerspiv Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Speed Humps would work fine if the local authorities could be bothered to build any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boater Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Speed Humps would work fine if the local authorities could be bothered to build any. They had thought of the idea before and put a request into central government for a 5 million thb grant to assess the impact of having speed bumps on the island and a budget of 2.5 billion to install them but I don't think anything came of it Sent from my iPhone 6 using ThaiVisa app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokerspiv Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I could tell what impact they would have for far less than 5 million baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marstons Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 With plenty of place's on the mainland i cant understand why they would need to do a survey on the impact of speed bumps, just ask other departments in other area's of the country, seems even Bangkok saw through this scam. They could go a stage further and see what impact daily road checks for licences and crash helmets has, also multiple breathalyzer check points late at night, but then again that would reduce the death toll as would speed bumps and mean the cops working instead of scamming the bars.

samuijimmy Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I think speed bumps would not be such a good idea, sudden slow downs would no doubt cause many more accidents with people suddenly slowing down .... perhaps rumble strips, yes.... but probably radar and enforcement might make a difference ? Many of the side Soi's have speed bumps they really don't make much of a difference... IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokerspiv Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Try going over one at 60km/h and tell me it doesn't make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilly Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Try going over one at 60km/h and tell me it doesn't make a difference. Okay on a dirt bike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
