Thai Floods: FROC’s Highway

FROC’s highway to…

Both the Bangkok Post and the Nation covered, albeit briefly, complaints about FROC’s invasive ramp into the Energy Complex.

Bangkok Post: Froc’s ‘VIP pass’ irks residents (article no longer online – grrr to the Bangkok Post).

Residents living near the Flood Relief Operations Command (Froc) say a raised road built to allow access by VIPs is causing them flooding problems.

The special driveway is a road off the tollway exit in front of the Energy Complex building on Vibhavadi Rangsit road.

Nation: Community complains about access road to FROC HQ

A community yesterday cried foul over the construction of a special road for government leaders to access the Flood Relief Operations Centre (FROC), saying it has blocked drainage of floodwater.

Thing is, I can’t find a mention of the special FROC highway being constructed on Vibhavadi Rangsit (Ding Daeng), all the way to the Don Muang Tollway.
