Maybe they could start making proper garbage collections before they spend 100mil on bicycle racks. Shagwits.

100 million on bike racks...how many bicycles are they expecting?

[LivinginKata]

100 million baht - did I read that correctly - for bicycle racks. What .... Lot of brown letters there, and big fat brown envelopes.

it would be better to use the money to get safer roads, with bumps, so they dont drive crazy, would be safer for the bicycles

Cycling in Krabi province is pretty safe compared to riding a motorbike. Nowadays you see many bicycle riders here and most them wear a helmet. Motorbike riders don't ! However, I have to agree the authorities better accommodate the funds for more important issues, i.e. garbage collection, environment protection, school buses for the kids resulting that underaged kids no longer ride to school on motorbikes with 5 on the pillion.
