In fact one of the bars on that soi had the worst lineup of any bar I've ever seen. Agreed, I wasn't kidding about the knocking it down part. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcfc2007 Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 Editing someone's posts without leaving a trace is very poor form. It's misrepresenting what someone is saying. Not good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right. or perhaps were right. Definitely owned by them in the early 2000's. About 2006 a lot of talk of them knocking the whole thing down and building a car showroom and service centre. I believe it eventually went up on Suhhumvit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame that didn't go ahead, the drainage issues probably put paid to the idea though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggles Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Roadworks in Thailand were never intended to resolve problems, think of them more as "job creation" or "wealth accumulation" projects and you will better understand the process. I remember years ago an extra lane was added to Sukhumvit road south of Pattaya Thai. Riding my motorbike down there six months later was a challenge, full of bumps and potholes.

Don’t expect it to be perfect, just last more than one month. Or are your expectations set so low that you accept the shite work they did on this Soi?

Thai Spice Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Maybe they should just google to learn how to do ? And install a proper drainage first.... https://www.vaasphalt.org/pavement-guide/pavement-design-by-use/residential-street-design/ But hey "Thailand not same, you not understand" ....
