Nongprue road workers nowhere to be found as Soi Khao Noi sinks

PATTAYA:--East Pattaya residents are calling on Nongprue Sub-district officials to repair a kilometer-long section of Soi Khao Noi that started collapsing at the beginning of August but has not been fixed.

Community leader Chaimongkhol Bunsuud said the section of the busy road near Paradise Hill Village collapsed after water pipes under the street broke and escaping water undermined the road’s foundation.

Frequent runs by garbage trucks accessing a refuse-transfer station compounded the problem, he said.

Ah ok........so not the road-construction (which is his responsibility) is the problem, but the garbage-trucks?

If one knows that a road is used by many heavy-loaded trucks; who's responsibility is it to have a decent road constructed?

Yes, of course Pattaya City Hall.......

If you read the report you'll see that the road was fine, garbage trucks or not, until a water leak undermined the road's foundations. The pipe was repaired but the subsequent road repair by the water authority was not up to standard. There was no problem with the original construction.

Pattaya is having a few problems with its road surfaces

second road looks like that in parts

[Deacon Bell]

There'll be a shortage of twigs soon. Then the problems will really start as people drive into massive craters.

Triplebank, you are right, but this stretch of Khao Noi has been causing problems for years now.

Renewing the road-surface would be an excellent opportunity to renew the water-supply system underneath it (the roads where "under construction" long enough).

This is, BTW, not a typical Thai problem.....it even happens in 'our' Western society.
