snoop1130 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Pattaya vehicle tunnel to be opened for Songkran By The Nation Central Pattaya's vehicle tunnel is to be temporarily opened to traffic for Songkran. Thitiwat Anutruttikul, the engineer in charge of construction, said he was informed by the Rural Roads Department that the tunnel should be opened to traffic from April 9 to 17, when the main road is expected to be full with Songkran revelers. Thitiwat said the tunnel's construction was about 95 per cent finished and some small details need to be completed. He said the tunnel would be officially opened on May 1.

Our Flooders will never give up looking for that water year after year after year . . . . The good news is that so many have learned that water runs downhill, not uphill, now.

The tunnel will help us all speed to the next traffic jam. 500m up the road. The Top family Destination Traffic Jam of Asia. 2.5 hours round trip yesterday at 17:00 Jomtien to Nakulia.
