I don't really see what the fuss is about.

Sure it would be better to put a drain pipe under his driveway but if you compare what he did what the average Thai does in front of his house this is nothing.

As far as I know it is pretty normal here to block foot paths, turn the curb into parking space, etc.

Damn.  I hate to say it but you are right. "False sense of entitlement" and associated complete disregard for everyone else, strikes again.  He might be at least half as important as he thinks he is.

Should come to our village where a couple of farmers recently dug up the main concrete road, in two places, to lay a pipe connecting their paddy and sugar cane fields and refused to reinstate the concrete preferring to fill in the trench with soil. Endless fun in the rainy season.

Pretty common where I live. Many trenches cut through the concrete road and never filled. The roads are never cleaned either, so sand makes them lethal on corners for m'bikes.

Hmm, had I been the poster I would probably have been seriously tempted to put on an old pair of shoes and run amok in the cement before it had set!

Blocking a drain? Surely that is a case of suing him for encockroachment.

 

Thought that charge was reserved for Jomtien and Silom Soi 4!!!!!

No, they can't punish him, by the look of the house entrance, he is well moneyed.

 The gate wouldn't indicate money

Drive is running over the drain, hardly blocking it; alsod difficult to judge the grade of the ramp. It runs onto the cobbled area, not actually into the road but has managed to gain 2 pages of Thaigeezer outrage already so its doing well.

Of course not, but there is not going to be a driveway leading up to an old tumbledown shack.

Thai's like to flaunt it when they have money

Usually in residential areas anything goes in Thailand. Building factories next to residential homes, factories polluting an area, frequent loud music and parties, burning of domestic rubbish sending choking fumes into peoples homes and soi dogs allowed to roam free and attack people, that residents rarely have successes in getting the local authorities or police to take action with. Yet, some jerk decides to build a concrete ramp across a sidewalk and then he gets threatened with jail time and a 100000 baht fine. It means that the jerk must have some high up the Thai status scale big wigs as neighbours in that area that he has attracted their displeasure.

Looks like the contractor did a decent job. Anybody have his number? I need my driveway improved. I think some people are just jealous that this project was probably done on time and with in budget.

what an idiot. He should at least used what little brains he has and put some pipes to help drain the water. There was also no reason to extend it so far out to the road, he could have made it slightly steeper and his Lambo still wouldn't have scraped.

Precisely. And what responsible concrete contractor would go along with that?

please let us know who you are.

all would depend on the ownership of the strip of land on which the ramp is constructed. if he encroaches   state land then obviously it is illegal. he could have easily redone his existing drive way without causing any issues. looks like he took the easy way out.

owner's behaviour needs to be curbed...

 

anyhow

 

there's never any policeman  rubber-tyre-burning-hoon,

when you really need one!

 that hot rubber could burn a nice messy trench in that fresh concrete,

which can be ruined anytime up till almost a week for it to 100% set
