Bangkok: Most people complain about the terrible sidewalks
Picture: Daily News
Daily News said that since they started a community helpline for people with problems in Bangkok the overwhelming majority of complaints were about the capital’s sidewalks and walkways.
They were cracked, damaged, full of holes, impassable due to people leaving stuff out…you name it Bangkok has it.

This is despite the Bangkok Metropolitan Authority announcing a “return the sidewalks to the people” campaign.
From January to May the BMA received 338 complaints.
An official in Bang Khen in the north of the city said there were many reasons for the state of the pavements with people doing a lot of illegal things especially at night.
Examples were illegal electrical and water mains works.

It was hard to pin down the perps and make arrests.
Daily News said that the authorities were trying to teach the Thais a new culture – and it was proving hard.
