Rama III road footpath collapses

The Rama III Road footpath that collapsed on Monday was probably a combination of two factors: the collapse of a soil-holding wall and water erosion.

 

The section of footpath that collapsed was almost three metres in depth, five metres in width and 22-metres long and stretches from Soi 21 to 23 in Bang Kho Laem district.
The City’s deputy governor, Theerachon Manomaipibul, who inspected the site this morning, said an initial inspection had revealed that the subsidence resulted from the collapse of soil holding wall combined with water erosion, as the site was next to the Bang Khlo Drainage Canal.
