Prawet District Admits to Calculation Error in On Nut Road Repair Project
Local officials in Bangkok's Prawet district have acknowledged a calculation error following public scrutiny regarding a road repair project in the On Nut area.
According to a report by Matichon Online on August 19, 2026, the Prawet district office in Bangkok has admitted to a calculation error concerning a road repair project in the On Nut neighborhood. The admission followed intense questioning from local council members, including those identified as 'Hia Lan' and 'Dr. John,' who demanded transparency regarding the project's planning and execution.
During the inquiry, Amorn, a representative involved in the oversight, pointed to specific points where the calculations for the road works were flawed. The incident has sparked criticism from other council members, who questioned the experience and professional standards of the district's public works department.
For residents and travelers in the On Nut area, this development highlights potential administrative oversight in local infrastructure maintenance. While the district has acknowledged the mistake, the specific impact on the project's timeline, budget, and the quality of the road repairs remains to be confirmed. Observers are currently waiting for further clarification from the public works department regarding how these errors will be rectified and what measures will be implemented to prevent similar planning failures in future municipal projects. The situation serves as a reminder of the ongoing scrutiny surrounding local government infrastructure management in Bangkok.
