101 business plans

[Wardog 0]

Well it might seem Pete has sold just in time. But then again out of the 101 businesses it would seem that the new walking street plans only affect 25 of them.

 

Hope Martin and the FLB will be ok.

 

Major plans are finally improved which will change the face of Walking Street and South Pattaya Beach forever.

After many years of discussing plans to create a beach promenade behind Walking Street, the plans have now officially been approved. This meeting at Pattaya City Hall was chaired by Khun Watanna, Deputy Mayor of Pattaya and was attended by members of the 101 business club of Walking Street. It has now been determined that 24 buildings on the beach-side of Walking Street will be affected by the reclamation of land to construct the promenade. For 20 of the buildings, the overbuilt areas are owned by the City and not by the owners of the building so they will be removed with no compensation to the owners. The other 4 buildings do own the land and the city will initiate a compulsory purchase order in order for their construction plans to go ahead. We understand that this may cost City Hall around 30 million Baht although this figure has not been confirmed. City Hall estimates that the entire project will cost the City a massive 684 Million Baht to complete the 1 Kilometer long promenade. The new area will include a 10 meter wide footpath next to a 14 meter wide 4 lane road with provisions for car parking. The budget has now been approved but no details have been given as to when the construction will begin. We will of course keep you informed.

 

Dog out..

This part right here gets me, it sucks for the owners of those buildings, I know that some of the guys on this site own stuff over there are they going to be hurt by this?

I wonder who gets the job of fixing on the ears and trunk and painting it white?

about four years ago the headlines on the front page of the pattaya mail was that the nang nual restaurant towards the end of walking street had four weeks notice to pull down its pier, or the thai orthorities would pull it down. its still standing.

I heard that the government were going to compensate the building owners

If thats true then the farangs better sell up because NONE of them own their buildings and i'll bet the real owners will not compensate the leaseholders.

How long is forever in Pattaya? 15 minutes? 6 months? 5 years? for(n)ever?

I'm sure the compensation will be "fair" :crying

To whom remains to be seen.
