[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2338564]I seriously wanted to know. I know nothing about paving streets. Seemed weird as shit that they just paved this soi and it is already full of holes again. Makes perfect sense though. You need to go work for them. Ridiculous for them to waste money and time like that, but it seems to be the Thai way. It was a smooth ride while it lasted.[/QUOTE]It isn't just the Thai way? Corruption is everywhere not only in Thailand but here the philosophy is maybe not to finish the job or do it right? Doing so would mean no money coming into their departments meaning no skimming off the project. When the airport opened in the beginning they had to do many of the ground area where the planes parked because the cement used was below grade so the weight of the aircraft causes the ground to sink.
On the Darkside, many of the roads are finished on time, they seem intentionally rip roads up during the winter, that enable them to leave the project unfinished for months because they skimmed off the top so it can't be finished then they budget again to continue the paving but leave with the drains unfinished for several more months etc etc.
You see all the work done on Pattaya Nua, from Sukhumvit to the Dolphin circle where Terminal 21 is located now they just allocated 70 million to do a study for the skytrain system which they want to come from Sukhumvit down Pattaya Nua to Beach road means everything they did got to be ripped up again?
Several years ago they took money 120 million from the Outdoor stadium where we played Softball so they can create another lanes for Beach Road the reason today the Stadium is still unfinished. Lots of money people getting rich by not doing it right the first time.
