rooster59 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Pattaya's shame: Foreigner leaves blood on the sidewalk Image: We Love Pattaya We Love Pattaya blamed City Hall in the resort for not clearing away properly after attempts to repair the sidewalk went unfinished. This resulted in a foreign pensioner falling over outside the La Ferme restaurant in North Pattaya. A staff member was seen in a photo pointing to the blood left at the scene that resembled an unexpected obstacle course. Restaurant staff gave first aid to the injured man before seeing him safely to hospital. We Love Pattaya said this was terrible for Pattaya's image and they called on City Hall to get their act together before it happens again.

DPGumbypgh Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 That is not a repair to the sidewalk. It is the foundations for the new baht bus stop roofs. They are all over the place on the baht bus routes. Some of them seem to have been there a year or now. Maybe they ran out of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puchaiyank Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Many Thai sidewalk are hazardous to walk on...uneven, gaping holes, motorcycle traffic, obstacles left on the sidewalk that could impeed predestrian traffic...not to mention illegal vendors...so no big surprise here...

Number 6 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 How absolutely stupid. This occurs everywhere in Asia. Why would corrupt Pattaya be pro active assigning crews to run about and repair this sort of stuff? Never going to happen. Ever. Especially in Pattaya. Get a Chinese to fall in the file and break their neck. Maybe that will get the hole fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, if hundreds perishing on boats did not change anything, doubtful one broken necked Chinaman will cause alarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoza Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 according to the latest on the soi Buchow grapevine a heart attack victim who was rushed to one of our more expensive hospitals due to his collapse a few weeks back was put on ICU , and I was told when he was visited he was stone cold and no sign of life, but they kept him wired up and only after a phone call from family in UK, they unplugged him....total bill for 36 hours...700,000 baht ,so at least this old chap was conscious, and would be able to sign himself out..... before he was bankrupted. I hope the old chap has a speedy recovery. I will get an update on this story tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seancbk Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I agree someone should fix them but anyone that doesn't see that obstacle and trips over it needs their eyes checking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 This is sad but this is a place where there actually is a pavement for pedestrians. Most streets, if they even have a pavement, (most of soi Buakhao doesn't,) it is occupied by noodle sellers, aggressive WIN guys parked or hawkers and you are forced off into the road into the path of a huge coach.

champers Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I have taken a tumble there; I wait for a baht bus there after shopping at Best Supermarket. There is a big drop between road and pavement and if you are not 100% steady on your feet it can be problematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
