stud858 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 There has been a burst water pipe at the intersection leaking water for more than a week. Traffic lights out. Nearby soi Siam country club rd construction stopped. Nothing seems to be done about it. Can a Thai person involved with Thaivisa.com please call the 1111 number and ask for someone to come and investigate and help fix these major problems. I've heard from a Thai person they got a problem fixed by doing this. Worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alocacoc Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Jesus, they closed the intersection again. What a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digbeth Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 That burst pipe has been leaking out the northbound east side way since even before they resurfaced the road a couple of months back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stud858 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Southbound east side I thought. Is there more than one leak maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the pedestrian signal turned to GREEN to cross dangerous Sukhumvit, cars coming from Pattaya Klang turning right Eastbound towards Jomtien/Sattahip had been given GREEN at the same time, resulting in very dangerous scenes where pedestrians almost were hit by cars - both had GREEN to go, so who do you think is the stronger party eventually?

This is Thailand, after all If by then, a pedestrian has already been killed by an unsuspecting driver following the GREEN LIGHT rules, that does not help the pedestrian much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Organised labour" probably didn't help either. Back to Thailand. It's apparent to most that making a tunnel instead of an overpass was done for the usual reasons, and an overpass would have been completed years ago. The Thais have every right to be PO about it. It's not just the project itself, it's the chaos that surrounds every large project in LOS making life unbearable for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
