The veteran comedian showed extreme frustration. “Uncle Phed Chernyim,” reacted after hearing about a crane falling onto Rama 2 Road, causing multiple fatal accidents. He admitted he is now afraid to travel this route and urged the new government to seriously address the problem. “The Seven Lifetimes Road”—this road has been under construction for so long. It’s not due to any natural cause; simply put, it’s because of corruption among those in power. If you weren’t corrupt, this road would have been finished long ago.”
“I’ve been coming to Bangkok since 1970, when this road was already being built. That’s about 50 to 60 years ago, and it still isn’t finished. It’s the gateway back to the south, yet these days I don’t dare to travel it. It’s not just me; even locals nearby avoid it. The accidents keep repeating—this is unforgivable from those in authority. As a southerner, I see that nothing is done—no legal action, no compensation. Officials just show up for the cameras on the day of accidents, promising care and investigation, then disappear. They don’t actually manage the problem. It’s truly cruel.”
“This isn’t the first incident—there have been at least 10 such accidents. How many people have died from this? If you planned properly, everything could be managed well. Once taken responsibility for, it should be handled accordingly. They say the road is usable, but it’s the same story. They just say that to look good. I confirm I don’t dare use Rama 2 Road; whenever I pass, I’m scared. I take the outer route and go out of my way. How can Thailand be like this, lacking care? To the new political leaders, please address this issue in the upcoming election. Put this topic into Parliament and discuss it before amending the constitution. As taxpayers, we want to see a well-managed country, prosperous and easy to travel.”
