City hall’s Loy Krathong preparations linger as flooding threat to Naklua

PATTAYA:--Pattaya City Hall’s negligence in removing wood used for a man-made pond for Loy Krathong may lead to flooding long after November’s festival is forgotten.

City workers submerged planks of wood on the waterline at Lan Po Park in Naklua to create an artificial basin to launch flower-and-incense krathongs Nov. 17. Two months later, the wood is still there, now blocking the flow of water back to the sea.

The rainy season is still months away!

Who would expect the City Hall to do anything about this

until the day (or week) after the first floods there?

They are probably hoping the termites will have eaten the wood by the time rainy season arrives.!

There are some things the government just shouldn't get involved with.
