Local residents complain about alleged unsafe road in Pattaya after multiple vehicles fall into a ditch

Banglamung –

Following multiple vehicles falling into a roadside ditch after recent separate accidents in the Pattaya area, local residents complained to TPN media and other local press looking for support.

Reporters received complaints from locals that the road in Soi Wat Tonkrarok or Soi Rong Poa Khao Maikaew 23 is not safe.

The road is new but no there is no guardrail or barriers to prevent accidents, including at precarious parts of the roadway. Multiple cars and trucks have fallen into a ditch which is about five meters deep and borders parts of the road, including at a sharp curve. A road cone, seen below, is the only “barrier”.

Local residents say area officials should have a guardrail or barriers installed to help prevent accidents, especially at night time.

As of press time, relevant agencies and city officials have not officially responded to the complaint. The curve in question can be seen below.
