(Photo: Padang Besar Municipality office)A new 30-million-baht sports complex in Songkhla province has drawn sharp public criticism for a sharply angled running track that is not safe or practical for use. Complaints mounted after pictures of the completed sports complex were posted on the Facebook page of the Padang Besar municipality. The track was built with sharp angles, which is not standard for running due to safety concerns. Due to the limited land space, it was impossible to build a standard running track after that, he said. “The track is only a bonus, and as for the pitch, it meets all international standards,” Mr Dech-it said.
