The sunken section is now impassable for cars. General

The road subsidence also caused cracks on the tile floor of a wedding dress rental shop “Nong Wedding.”

Let this be a lesson, when roads begin to drink they sink to a new low. (sorry....just couldn't resist!)

Looks closer to three feet than three meters?

Still be no reason for the average Thai driver to slow down. Put a twig at both ends, that might work.
