Thailand Road Hazard Warning Signs
"Twig Alert"
A twig is a small thin terminal branch of a woody plant, frequently used in Thailand as road hazard warnings.
See a branch in the road and you will most likely encounter a pothole or a stranded vehicle.
In this case branches were used by construction crews laying new drainage lines. Guess they are on a tight budget, can't afford proper construction markers. Both the hole and twig were hard to spot.
With the help of friendly neighbors the vehicle was recovered without damage

They're Back
Road paving on the dead end street where I live was done in March of last year. But the street getting there was left unfinished until now. Sewer pipes were brought in yesterday and the digging has started.
They are laying the sewer down the middle of the road. Traffic in and out today should prove interesting. Guess I can go the long way around .
I'd say laying pipe the length of the entire road will take close to a week. After that the paving should be a bit quicker.
Meanwhile, any rainstorm is going to make the road into a dirt bike track.
