In 1948 work was started on Boston’s Southeast Expressway, a highway designed to alleviate congestion on roadways heading to the South Shore. The six-laner road was opened several years later with its capacity predicted to be reach by 1970. Within two weeks there were traffic jams.
Pattaya is also beset by traffic problems. Too many cars. Too few roads. The embankment overlooking the under-used railway to Satthatip seemed the perfect location for a new road and throughout the last two years work crews have been laying pavement on the 16 kilometer stretch.
Result?
More traffic jams at the intersections.
More roads mean more cars. More cars meant more traffic jams.
SNAFU – situation normal all’s fucked up.
Expect farangs to curse and Thais to phut maa or speak like a dog.
No one loves traffic.
