The roads in and around Jomtien have been in a state of disrepair for years and any efforts to repair them seems to take longer than building an Olympic stadium.
On August 5th a 39 year old motorbike taxi driver named Natapong Satsukying was driving on Soi Thappraya 12 known as Soi Pattaya Park Hotel and swerved to avoid a meter wide hole, however coming the other way was a garbage truck who didn’t have time to react, the truck smashed into Natapong killing him instantly.
This young man’s life ends due to shoddy roads.
The intelligent police surmised that the damage to the road was caused by heavy rains, and as ever there was no mention of the roads department being blamed or instructed to get the roads sorted out.
Fatal accident due to the city’s appalling roads.
