Swedish Tourist hurt because of unfinished construction work on the Thappraya Road in Jomtien.

For many months we have been reporting on the poor state of the Thappraya Road which leads to Jomtien Beach. The City Administration undertook road widening work which has yet to be completed. Some sections of the road are clearly dangerous, with large exposed holes which are not covered in any way. Many people who choose to walk along the road have fallen foul to the dangers relating to the unfinished construction work and this is one such example which occurred on Friday Night. Mr. and Mrs. Svenson from Sweden were walking along the road opposite Bruno’s Restaurant when Mrs. Ingrid Svenson aged 60 fell into a deep hole, injuring her right leg. A rescue unit was called to transport the woman to Hospital where she was treated for cuts and bruises. We have today sent a copy of this report along with pictures to the Mayors office at Pattaya City Hall for his consideration.

Well they had the "warning stick" marking the hole right??

Sir Burr · 05-01-2008, 09:02 PM

I usually bang my head when walking due to having to keep my eyes on the ground.

dirtydog · 05-01-2008, 09:16 PM

Down the road from me, been like it for months and months.

chitown · 05-01-2008, 09:20 PM

^ I prefer the open hole than the trap door that falls beneath you when you walk on it.

Yes it clearly there.....

Perhaps the all important plastic bag stuck on top of the stick had blown away?

Anyway, this wouldnt have happened if she'd stayed in Sweden.

Bloody foreigners

She looks impressed by being scraped off the pavement and tossed into the back of one of Thailand's classy Ambu-pickups. Wonder how much they charged her for that?

Why was she walking on the sidewalk in the first place?
Everyone knows that's the sole domain of tuk-tuks, CD-pirates and triple-amputees.

Serves her right. (damn near a gratuitous crotch shot, to add a little salt to the wound)

mrsquirrel · 07-01-2008, 07:41 AM

Knicker shot

get this in the knickers shot thread.

panama hat · 07-01-2008, 07:54 AM

I find the photo quite inappropriate - similar to the thread about leering at corpses and wounded people.

cujo · 07-01-2008, 11:57 AM

She should watch where she's walking then.

It seems like those Swedes cannot hold their drink very well.

Thormaturge · 07-01-2008, 12:43 PM

Swedes taking holidays. What next, Brussel's Sprouts?

Zpete · 18-11-2008, 06:00 PM

Last nite in Sukhumvit, I walked into a guy wire, one leg each side.... yeoow, mite not be so bad for a femme, but this guys family jewels were not happy at all.

keda · 18-11-2008, 06:53 PM

In this sort of case do Pty City pay the hospital checkbin, or charge for rescue services?

Loy Toy · 18-11-2008, 06:53 PM

By the look of her she needs a good feed as well!

Oh Tex please! I am just about to eat my Issarn Somtam and now I have mental visions of her crotch shot.

The excremental smell of Somtam would be enough to put me off.

I'm afraid your right again Tuddy.

Especially after Tex's gratuitous crotch shot reference and a shot coming from the woman in the picture.

Looks like steak sandwiches instead!

patsycat · 18-11-2008, 09:18 PM

This is all a bit crude. Do you not remember NR's poor mother had a similar situation happen to her not long ago?

Yep your right Patsy!

But when you walk anywhere here you must expect the unexpected.

Thailand is still a third world country and the councils make sure that they retain that status.
