City Hall workers have fixed the new overhead destination sign,"กรุงเทพฯ - Bangkok", at Pathumwan intersection after complaints that it was already soggy and unsightly.
An official said the repairs made on Monday followed online complaints about a watery swelling on parts of the big destination board on a beam under the BTS line at Pathumwan intersection.
There were a few soggy points found on the sign, he said. They occurred because the surface of the concrete beam was uneven and rainwater had collected in gaps along the edge of the sign.
The repair crew pierced the swollen sections to drain the water, dried them out and then used a tool to iron it flat before resealing the whole sign with silicone, he said.
The sign was installed only last month and was the subject of several mocking memes over its seemingly high cost.
