Easier to complain for months and watch people fall in the hole.... A bit of plywood 1.2 x 2.4 metres x 10mm thick costs 560 baht from my local hardware shop. Add a few big nails and the job can be done in a bout 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydebolle Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 12 hours ago, Banana7 said: City should step in. Determine who is the water pipe owner and ask them to repair the sidewalk since their water caused the problem. If no one is the owner, cut the pipe, the owner show soon. Water supply is not turned on until sufficient funds are paid to City to properly repair the sidewalk. Again, no leadership or accountability from City management. The pipes under public sidewalks are supply pipes - responsibility of the water works. By law - I kid you not - you as a private individual are not allowed to touch any utility supplies on public land. Had a sinking hole in front of my restaurant and just kept it filling up with sand until I made a report to the local police about it. Then only they moved their big fat lazy a"*ç%s and came over to do the job - it took 'em eight solid months. No accountability of the PEA or the waterworks - and I could not agree more - sack 'em all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If tourist farang were not there then they would not fall in hole? Same same 'argument' as crime and road crashes? NAH, primary fault lays with 'authorities' whose job it is to get it fixed! Contributory 'fault' is only contributory not primary! Edited July 30, 2017 by lvr181 Comment Variation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, won't be surprised if their broadcast license is revoked in the near future. Lets run Sophon Cable for the next Prime Minister or at least next Mayor of Pattaya......

Joebuzz Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I had no problem negotiating the hole, however, every time I did I ran straight into the power pole in the middle of the sidewalk.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say this because some Aussie like to joke, so the guy would say to his workmate who was about to take away the tree branch, "No,no, wait, you leave that where it is, we will do a nice job". After painting round the branch, he says to his mate, now then mate, it looks better like this wouldn't it?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
