if you want to see great construction planning, look no further than the extension of the Bangkok Pattaya autoban no.7
They had to move most of those central lighting poles because some of them would be in the middle of the lane after the 8 lane extensions. Must have been expansive to move, and yet they will never light them anyway because electricity is too expansive

^ No that red thing is the hat of the town planner. It has a large "D" painted on the other side. He must have left it behind after stopping to marvel at his latest brilliant achievement.
So there I was driving down Soi Nern Plub Wan when this thing down one of the small Soi's caught my eye, now these small Soi's are generally like small villages and the further you go down Soi Nern Plub Wan the lower end the houses get, so here we are at nearly the end and its a pretty shabby housing estate, little 2 bedroom bungalows that should have been repainted a few years ago, each having a tiny patch of dirt in front of them, as they are Thai owned the dirt/garden isn't looked after in any way at all, lots of cracked windows and stuff like that, anyway the electricity board must have decided to ignore the poor people as they don't really count in this country and they are only Thai anyway so wont notice and stuck this bloody great big massive electric pylon smack bang in the middle of their road, it's alright though as small cars can fit down the right hand side where the local government must have purchased a few of the peoples gardens, could you imagine having something like this outside your front door?
Great opportunity for the locals to tap that electricity for free now, if they dare to climb it
Dunno wether this is bad planning or just stupid. The old bag who developed our Moo Baan built this house, after selling it she discovered that the land borders were actaully inside the plot she sold, Asked the owner to buy the extra 3 meters off her, he said #*#* you ! so she built another wall inside and on the actual border, then tries to sell off the 3 mtr strip, funny but not too many buyers appeared interested.
There can’t be good living where there is not good drinking
Not sell, rent. That's what she wrote on the wall anyway. Still I agree there may not be people lining up for that one.
Perfectly incapable of forethought.
Looks like the right plot to build the mansion on I have in mind.
That is class.. Even if it was photo shop material. Why do i believe this could be real though.
