Governor Chadchart’s Mission to Transform Soi Ramkhamhaeng 21: Tackling Floods and Traffic Challenges

The ever-watchful eye of the Governor has returned to Soi Ramkhamhaeng 21, a locale once known as Soi Nawasri, to monitor the construction progress and ensure that the contractor is adhering to his expert recommendations. Soi Ramkhamhaeng 21 serves as an essential artery between the bustling Ramkhamhaeng Road and the At Narong-Ram Intra Expressway. Historically, this used to be a private road, infamous for its stubborn flooding problems that plagued the community for years.

Thankfully, the tides have changed as the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has taken the helm to deliver much-needed upgrades to accommodate the bustling traffic and dense residential presence. This transformation couldn’t have come at a better time for the residents and daily commuters who traverse this path.

The current construction endeavor is nothing short of a Herculean task, as it involves the meticulous pouring of concrete on one side of the road at a time, alongside critical adjustments to the drainage system. This has inevitably funneled traffic to a single, solitary lane, much like trying to squeeze an elephant through the eye of a needle.

In light of these developments, Governor Chadchart—our trusty navigator through these urban waters—cautions drivers to sidestep the bottleneck of Soi Ramkhamhaeng 21, lest they wish to encounter minor delays reminiscent of a patient queue at a popular street vendor. Instead, he opens the gates to an alternative path: the scenic route through Soi Wat Thepleela, leading serenely to the Council of Engineers.

For those intrepid travelers undeterred by the prospect of delays and who must brave Soi Ramkhamhaeng 21, the Governor politely insists upon the essentials of safe driving. This entails exercising the virtues of patience, tempering speeds to a considerate pace, and meticulously shifting from foot to pedal, all in the spirit of future prosperity and communal benefit.

Reflecting on the progress since yesterday’s reconnaissance, Governor Chadchart notes with satisfaction that the situation has seen tangible improvements. The sole lane open to traffic now resembles a smooth, compacted runway, with the quantum of potholes dwindling significantly. However, he acknowledges that some patches still demand an additional touch of refinement.

“To all residents of Soi Ramkhamhaeng 21, your voices are echoes we cherish,” the Governor declared with a welcoming gesture. “For over a decade, this soi has been a battleground against relentless floods. Our hands were once tied, but now we’ve taken the plunge into this project for the greater good of everyone. Rest assured, floodings will merely be tales of yore in this neck of the woods.”
