| Thai traffic hazard sign: "Hole in the road!" |
 |
| Drainpipe laying is complete, yesterday old road pavement was being removed |
 |
| Old Pavement was quite thin and brittle, heavy trucks left many potholes behind |
After the pavement was removed, heavy monsoon rains soaked the soil.
I'm a bit apprehensive driving through this on a motorcycle.
I'm fairly sure that the road has to be dry before cement can be laid. I'm guessing not in the immediate future. But then I've been wrong before, especially in guessing the Thaiway!!

Drink up and get sick and puke
Fame came to South Korean pop artist Psy (Park Jae-Sang) with his 'Gangnam Style.'
Gangnam Style is the most watched Youtube video with over 2 billion hits.
The music was very popular in Thailand and was imitated
Psy is back rapping with Snoop Dogg.
I'm not as impressed as I was with 'Gangnam.'
Maybe it's because of the subject matter: "Drink up and get sick and puke."

T.i.T. And another one bites the...
For those who have not followed the story a quick recap:
On June 3 a roadcrew ripped open a road leading to my house to lay sewer lines down the center of the road. Somehow I sensed there was trouble ahead.
The crew left open pits in the road and marked them with twigs. The following day after some heavy rains, the first vehicle slipped into the hole.
Of course the following day another vehicle slipped into the same hole
After the second vehicle I placed some large timbers into the hole to make it visible.
Today they removed the timbers and filled the hole with dirt. The hole was no longer visible. But the dirt had not been compacted.
This time a truck weighed down with melons sank into the hole. After attempts to use a jack to lift the vehicle out, there was only one solution.
Unload all the melons.

Two hours later and the vehicle is still in the hole.
Anywhere else the road crew would be liable for damage for not properly marking a construction area. But then T.i.T.
With the help of emergency road services and proper tools the vehicle was driven out of the hole almost three hours later. Melons were reloaded during a moderate rain storm

Rain Season: Daily Rain
Weather is coming mostly from the west-northwest.
Thai Meteorological Department, generally quite conservative in it's forecasts, has upped the chance of daily rain to 60 and 70% for the week ahead.
No tropical storms in the West Pacific for now.
