BANGKOK — It was with some irony a famous singer acknowledged Thursday that he injured his leg falling into a drain while training for a charity run to benefit hospitals.

 

“For all the runner fellows … watch out carefully for the drain holes while training,” Toon wrote in a caption along with a photo of his bandaged right leg.

Welcome to Bangkok sir! Why do you think we all drive a car??

Bangkok has 600,000 drain holes, according to Somphong Wiangkaew, the head of City Hall’s drainage and sewer department.

 

Acknowledging frequent accidents caused by improperly covered drains, Somphong said one solution his office was considering was to increase the minimum distance between each drain from six meters to 15 meters. Fewer drains, he said, would mean fewer accidents.

 

Excellent idea. This should reduce in half his workload of repairing or maintaining drains so he could also take a 50% salary cut.

Just lookout for the "internationly recognised" sign for dangerous situation. The twig and plastic bag warning sign.

Thailand should warn all visitors waiting in the queu's at Swampy for this on videoscreens.

 

It also took me a while before i found out that the branches growing out of the roads were huge holes. 

 

And drainlids are only being replaced when they are a real danger to society. They better use a foreign system for drainlids because they can't make them in Thailand.
