Safety Crisis on Pattaya’s Second Road Sparks Urgent Action
Pattaya's Second Road is facing a safety crisis due to haphazardly parked cars, potholes, uneven blocks, advertising signs, and encroaching vehicles, leaving minimal space for pedestrians. Urgent action is needed to overhaul pedestrian footpaths to ensure a safer and more enjoyable experience for both locals and tourists. Meanwhile, Bangkok's Metropolitan Administration has initiated a project to refurbish the city's pathways to cater to the needs of pedestrians, especially those with disabilities. A social backlash occurred when a white pickup truck blocked an ambulance on its way to tend to a foreign patient experiencing chest pain.
