I noticed that wherever is refurbishment of roads or sidewalks, the new level is higher than before, as if they are trying to out-raise the sinking of Bangkok, or trying to get an advantage in case of flood over their lower-lying neighbors.Originally Posted by Armando
In case of roads, that means in some places the roads, after two new surfaces, are at same level as sidewalk. You can still see the two new surface levels at what used to be the curb/kerb, but is now just a gap between sidewalk and road.
But those on ground floor, who cannot raise their floor level because there is a ceiling, have to install walls to prevent water from sidewalk/road now being higher than their floor level from flowing into their house.
