Construction Mistake on Lat Krabang Footpath

A recent construction oversight occurred in Lat Krabang, Bangkok, where a road improvement project funded with a budget of 177 million baht went awry. The project aimed to enhance the roadway and footpath on Luang Phaeng Road between specific points. Workers mistakenly placed concrete slabs over public benches rather than removing them first, which led to public frustration. Reports indicated that this error stemmed from a communication breakdown on-site, where the lead contractor failed to instruct the laborers from Myanmar to move the benches before laying the concrete. Community members have reacted vehemently, and the situation is under review by local authorities. They plan to amend the installation soon to restore the functionality of the footpath. This incident also highlights the critical importance of clear communication in construction projects to avoid adverse scenarios that inconvenience the public.
