PATTAYA, Thailand – Authorities in Pattaya responded to a road safety incident after concrete debris was found scattered along a curve on the uphill route of So To Ro 5 or Naval Radio Station in the Jomtien area, raising concerns over hazards for passing vehicles.
The issue was first reported to the city’s radio communication center, prompting local enforcement officers from Jomtien and environmental sanitation teams to rush to the scene. Officials confirmed that loose concrete had fallen onto the roadway, creating a potential risk for motorists navigating the steep bend.
Cleanup operations were carried out immediately to remove the debris and restore safe traffic flow. Officers also assisted in managing vehicles through the affected section while the road was being cleared.
