lvr181 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 The poorly constructed beach promenade stood no chance against the heavy rainstorm Admitting that. A first. The media said that - the administration would never admit to that Although just about everyone else knew of the "poor" construction. Mai pen rai.

doggie888888 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 The council needs to send someone round to look into it. No way. They need to have 3 meetings first to decide to set up a sub committee to look into the matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ggt Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Was sitting at a bar on Pattaya beach road when a flash flood occurred...in a matter of moments a manhole cover in the middle of the road was washed away exposing a large and dangerous hole...the volume of water soon completely covered the street and the hole...vehicles where bouncing in and out of that hole...being thrown around...out of control...until a barricade was setup... A side note...the river of water flowing down Pattaya road...appeared to be cleaning up all the trash from the sois...it was a river of sludge...a mixture of mud, water, and trash...hated having to walk in it after leaving the bar... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
