rooster59 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Udon will not be defeated by Pattaya when it comes to bad signage! Image: Thai Rath Thai Rath reported that it is not just Pattaya that has bad signage - Udon Thani is giving the resort a run for its money.The story comes after Pattaya was embarrassed that a major sign in the city used the spelling CTIY.But Udon are taking the issue a step further by reinventing the map.Thai Rath said that a sign on Route 22 leading into Udon had brought the town of Nong Khai closer than ever before.A sign outside a school says it is 20 kilometers to Udon and just 60 to Nong Khai.The reality is that Nong Khai is about 55 kilometers from Udon. Another sign that the news media videoed had it about correct at 34 and 88 kilometers.Chief of signage in the locality Prajak Puksanthia said he had only been in the job a year and he was not aware of the incorrect sign.It was probably put in when the road was widened about a year ago before he came into the job, he noted.However, like the embarrassed Pattaya mayor, he did promise that the sign would be changed.

Assurancetourix Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Giving a wrong distance is not dangerous.. But giving a wrong indication can be.. We are in Udon Thani province , yes, again ,on rd 3059 between Chaiwan and Tha Sila; the rd mark is for a curv on the right side but it's the contrary ..

topt Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Unless it has been changed Highway 7 toll section travelling north to Bangkok had signs for the distance to Suvarnabhumi airport one of which reads more than the preceding sign - from memory the first says 50km and the next 55km even though it is closer to the airport. I am sure there are more examples of distances being incorrect around the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived there for 2 years. Your spelling is the correct spelling as far as I know. But, who knows for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did, on ThaiVisa this morning!!!.... " Chacherngsao Police are probing the death of a 14-year-old girl who stayed home alone on Wednesday night, as her family was convinced by the suspicious circumstance that it might be a murder."

sinbin Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 When showing my missus these kind of things she laughs. But she readily admits that before she met me she wouldn't have seen what was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the sign in the picture says its 40 kilometers to Udon, looks like Thai Rath reporters are no smarter than the sign writers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar here. The post office signage is Campson but the various road signs within 2 km of each other are Camp Son, Khaeme Sone, Kaeme Son, Kaemson and Camp Sone.
