They're now giving that soi the drain opening enlargement surgery. Looks like the work is going right up to Soi Arunothai. Your pics show it up to the left/right at Maxx Central but now they're past the next right/left and part way up Arunothai 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were on the day I was taking pics, but didn't want to risk having BM's OD on pics of drains, so refrained from taking more shots. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be a guy that kept a rubber raft on his balcony always made me smile to see that This morning's rain has let up so popped out for a couple of pics of the area. Not enough rain to cause flooding, but enough to fill the drains with water. Pic of the lowest point of the soi looking towards 3rd Rd. Drain pipe is full, and the water isn't moving. Probably should call this a catch basin rather than drain. Looking towards the turn that takes you to Arunotai. More stagnant water in the catch basin. Final stretch looking towards Arunotai. Wonder if like with a lot of Thai projects they'll finish enlarging the drain openings, realize after they're done it didn't help, then rip up the road again and do what they should have done in the first place and put in larger drain pipes with a pumping station to get the water across 3rd Rd.

KWA Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Over 50 new drains by my count, but they've got the orientation right for cyclists this time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed that too they got the orientation right on my ride past today. Noticed too quite a few blue PVC pipe outlets beneath the grates going into the drains from the houses on the soi. Hope those are greywater discharge pipes and not sewage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forcebwithu Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 On Soi 14 off 3rd Rd, the other side is now getting the enlarge drain openings to undersized drain pipes treatment. And on the opposite of 3rd Rd, the last bit on Soi 21 is getting concreted over this morning. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bit that gets me is that all drains on higher ground should be empty, once latent water is seen in the drains then surely they should investigate why and put it right before they continue with any work widening the drain. Root cause and all that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in a duplex around the corner from that old 7 in 2010-11...on a little side street off of Soi 15. There was almost nothing there back then. Fun times... a few of the early shift Champagne-a-Go-Go dancers would come over and party after they were done at about 10pm. Used to hear the booming karaoke club all night long...
