Thundering earth moving lorries soi 102

Post by Paderborn »

Hi Can anyone out there please tell me what is going on on soi 102

There are the huge earth moving lorries are thundering past every few minutes...going up full, going down full. Then there are the empty ones returning to wherever....the noise from their massive exhausts is outrageous!!!

The lorries have been using an side road near the old bobby's bar to fill in a lake over near soi 112, this has been going on almost daily since approx June 11th... but today the lorry action up & down the road in general has gone up a gear and a decibel :banghead:

Is there not enough land for building on, that they have to fill in stretches of water?
I know of 3 such stretches that have been filled in on the south side of the town in the last 12 months. Two of which were used buy local thai people for fishing. It is such a shame to see Hua Hin being ruined like this.

I think the environmentalist lobby in town should be looking at noise pollution and preservation of natural areas, along side other issues like litter etc.

My hope is for a speedy return to normal noise levels, if this is at all possible?

Thanks paderborn

Good luck to the person who plans to build there. Up until 18 months ago the who area there was a deep swamp. Hope they've got some good drainage system sorted. Somehow I think not!

Most of the Soi 102 area was/is a swamp; in the 80’s it was popularwith the 4WD crowd, and nobody ever imagined that there was any chance that houses would be built there.

If they piss you off that much stick some caltrops in the road. You can make em yourself out of three nails with some fuse wire and a pair of pliers. Drop a couple in the ruts in the road the trucks have made that way a motocycle wont hit em.

Also pretty good for getting at SUV dicks who use your road as a race track......
