Narathiwat's 20 Million Baht Swimming Pool Remains Abandoned
A newly constructed 20 million baht swimming pool in Narathiwat has been left abandoned for nine months due to critical design flaws and safety concerns.
A 20 million baht swimming pool project in Narathiwat, located at the King Rama V Public Park, has been left abandoned for nine months despite being fully paid for and completed. According to Khaosod Online, officials from the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) and the Office of the Auditor General (OAG) recently inspected the site following reports that the facility could not be opened for public use. During the inspection, authorities discovered significant safety hazards, most notably that the electrical control cabinets were installed in a room prone to flooding, posing a severe risk. For residents and visitors, this facility remains inaccessible, and its future status is currently uncertain as oversight agencies investigate the project's management and construction standards. The situation highlights concerns regarding the effective use of public funds and the safety of municipal infrastructure. Further updates are expected as the NACC and OAG continue their inquiry into why the project was approved and completed with such critical technical failures.
