rooster59 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 New bus stop location a tad too convenient for house owners Image: Sanook BANGKOK:-- It is always very pleasant and convenient when there is a bus stop nice and near your house. But a house owner in Bangkok found this bus stop rather too close for comfort. Someone built the shelter right in front of his house making it impossible to get in and out. The bus shelter seems to have been built by the Taling Chan authority but they have issued a denial saying it wasn't them. And so far no one has owned up to putting it there. The shelter complete with many plastic seats and a surrounding fence was built on temple land to service the air-bus route 79. Apparently no one in the neighborhood was asked if they wanted it. House owner Nutmart Khongyai, 53, said he rented some land from the temple of Wat Chaiyapreuk Samala and erected a house on the plot. When he heard a bus stop was to be built he didn't object - but he didn't expect to be unable to get into his house by the front door. "My mother is sick and walks with the aid of a stick." he said. "We have to use the side door to get her in and out and it is not the only inconvenient thing - I have to park my motorbike in the street where it could easily be stolen". The temple folks said that they gave their permission for a shelter to be built to the Taling Chan authority after several meetings took place. But Pornthip Chairindilok of the authority said they had not built it. Now to add insult to injury for Nutmart there are hardly any passengers wanting to use the shelter.

ChiangMaiLightning2143 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 An absurd story but rented land, who knows about the legal status of the property. Illegal perhaps? Then some agency point to a map and pays some Contractors to build a bus stop "HERE". Just following orders right?Som nam na. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
