Careful Walking, Moat Footbridge Has a Hole

[larrychiangmai]

Last week, walking along the moat I crossed a footbridge just to the west of Chiang Mai Gate market (opposite a two story Bangkok Bank on Changlor Road) and almost stepped in a hole on the bridge which is missing a small plank.

I placed some flower pots around it and then pointed it out to a local policeman who thanked me.When I walked by today, it still hadn't been repaired.

P.S. Is there an email contact to report possible walking or driving hazards to so no one gets hurt?

A hole in the infrastructure? My goodness.. Never seen that before.

If you are in Thailand.... get used to it.

Not helpful but so true. Some of the moat bridges were repaired a few years ago with synthetic planks that are not suited to that use, some broke within a week of their instalation, they break often and are replced periodicly. There are thousands of pedestrian hazards here, you will soon learn to watch your step.

Great Photo but you left out the sign that said "Please Water the Plants" (that are planted in concrete). The fire hydrant right next to it needs some use.
