Thai PM responds to public outcry over Rama II highway construction delays
Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin has ordered the Transport Ministry to address traffic congestion on the essential Rama II highway connecting Hua Hin to Bangkok. Despite claims of Hua Hin becoming a ghost town due to the highway's issues, tourist numbers remain stable. The highway's perpetual construction has raised safety concerns, including accidents and falling debris. Additionally, controversy surrounds the Welcome to Pai sign in Mae Hong Son's Pai district, which has sparked debate over its status as a quirky tradition or a potential road hazard.
