[gk10002000]

Well they got the dolphins right.  There is likely to be plenty of water in that tunnel

[baansgr]

Is it all good to go for tomorrow

[stud858]

I'll be there and suggest everyone come. I may go to city Hall and ask what time?

[Pdaz]

I'm jogging down to city Hall just now and see if I can get that confirmed. Cheers

New 2018 date aside (ha!), has anyone passed by the junction and saw any balloons and flags, so to speak?

 I heard there will be spit roasted pigs, claypot cooked chicken and a free buffet around 19:00

Ribbon ceremony at 3.30pm 25th.

That's what I was told. Straight from the horses mouth.

Civil works officers. From the horses mouth is a saying in English that means from the ones in charge.

[fforest1]

Could today really be the day?

[stud858]

Tents setup in tunnel. Security guard at entrance said can't go inside. Was told to come back at 9pm.

My thinking is that ceremony is only for the elite. But traffic should be flowing tomorrow. Hoooo ray.

[thaibeachlovers]

Would someone please tell us if it happened today after 3.30 pm.

I'm waiting with unbridled anticipation to see if it happens 55555555555555.

Cha Cha.....

 

 

Other news has taken precedence....

[McGregor21]

No chance of it being open today..i just drove past and theres a marquee in their that would seat about 100 people..

[johng]

Well its past 3pm is it open yet ?

[SidJames]

I reckon Yingluck's holed up down there safe in the knowledge that it's unlikely that anyone will ever be allowed down there

[NanLaew]

The opening CEREMONY was this afternoon.

 

Check this space tomorrow.

Last news I heard was it would be open at 22.00 hours today

[Kaoboi Bebobp]

That nearly fits with the 9 pm given to poster Stud858 by a policeman earlier in the day. 

 

LOL. Here we are fussing over a highway junction and the rest of the world looks for Yingluk.

When the officials finally turned up to open the tunnel, they were shocked to find it had completely disappeared...

The headline was:

Pattaya tunnel - unveiling confirmed for August 25th!

 

No word of the year, so maybe on that day next year, or ...

 

[Kaoboi Bebobp]

If it's open, surely someone has driven by or -- heart be still! -- through the tunnel by now. But way more important is crossing over the tunnel to make a Klang-NPW run or vice versa. Report, please.

I heard that Yingluck tried to drive through it... 

[thaibeachlovers]

Nearly 10am on 26th. Is it open yet?

[KhunBENQ]

Urgently waiting for the first GoPro video

[stud858]

Been told by my friend at condo level 11 window view that traffic is running through the tunnel.

You are all welcome to use it and I declare on behalf of all peaceful falang, the tunnel is now open.
