JSixpack Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I love it when someone Fresh Off The Boat suddenly comes to the realization that--"Wot! Oim in a Third World country! Quite a mess here." Ah, to go back to that virginal state. Making acquaintance with all the nice, sincere ladies eager to serve me . . . . Try a Mexican sidewalk for comparison. That was MY first experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should travel more go and see the state of the pavements in neighbouring countries and you will see they are in far better condition than Pattaya even sleepy little Sihanoukville in Cambodia has far better standard sidewalks than Thailand and that country can really claim to be Third World ...........whereas Thailand only wants to be regarded as Third World when it suits them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only in Vietnam have I ever fallen down. There's no little one-size-fits-all schoolmarm rule you can cling to, sorry. "What Thailand wants" is one of those grandiose trollish concepts. Best to rid yourself of such. Edited October 25, 2013 by JSixpack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaiyapoon Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 It is simply that those in authority do not care. I remember a few years back having avoid lengths of road with no drain covers with branches stuck down the holes as the only warning, Only in Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 in some ways its not a bad thing in many countries i have visited you stand a good chance of getting knocked down on the boardwalk by a senior on a mobility scooter Not to mention those insufferable Wheelchairs This poor condition of Sidewalks & Roads has been a point of contention since we started coming to Pattaya That is 25+ years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jko Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Since it is usually only farangs who use sidewalks, they might wish to introduce a 500 Baht "Pavement Maintenance Tax" in addition to the imminent 'Health' Tax. A similar arrival tax might also be introduced to fund assistance for victims of jetski rip-offs, the gem scams, and the other assorted perils of spending a holiday here.
