Pattaya Area Construction Projects

I think the objections are from Thai land owners overlooking the beach who realize that with cars parked and food stalls permanently on the walkway their premises are not worth as much.

Thzts my felling anyway.

The same goes for bar owners w/girls who aren't happy about the availability of freelancers on Beach Rd. Notice how the plan is to eliminate the majority of places to sit on the path. I'm sure they will start to enforce a "no loitering/standing" policy once done. It'll drive business back into the bars. IMO, this is what happened with/because of the FL's on Walking St in AC.

I inspected this morning round about 0830.  These are genuine and no AI enhancements.  

Today's Soi 15 disaster update. Not easy to see in this photo, but the seam on the left side of the DIY access tube hasn't been sealed and you can see th

Moving towards Soi Buakhao some progress has been made.

Today's excitement on Beach Rd was the removal of an old pump and iron drain pipes. There were two other flatbed trailers parked up nearby, so guessing there's quite a bit they'll be removing today.

Latest news is the work on the beach has been suspended due to encroachment issues. Puts into doubt the Mayor's earlier assertion this was part of a multi-phase project. If it was you would expect the minor detail of encroachment would have been worked out.

New recreation areas 'encroaching' on recently rebuilt Pattaya Beach

The Marine Department has ordered Pattaya City to halt the building of recreational areas on the ocean side of the footpath along Beach Road because it may be in in breach of the law, a department official said.

Ekarat Kantharo, director of the Regional Marine Office in Pattaya, said the work could be construed as illegal encroachment on the newly renovated beach and this needed to be sorted out.

Road barricades, construction security fencing along the beach, and heavy equipment all gone.

Along with much of the sand?

Not Pattaya, but pics from today of the Jomtien Beach nourishment project. Looking south and north from opposite of the Chaiyaphruek intersection.

Nice example of redneck engineering for hauling boats out of the water.

They're back... the all too familiar orange construction barriers for the Beach Rd project to add a lane on the north end.

In which decade will we ever have a nice promenade devoid of construction?

When they're done destructing/reconstructing the footpath it'll be interesting to compare before and after pics to figure out what they accomplished with this project.

Easy to see right now what was accomplished.  Someone made money.

Surprised they didn't design the new parking area for angle parking. Probably fit at least twice as many cars into the same space.

Yep, but that would mean Thai drivers having to reverse out into the oncoming traffic!!! Recipe for disaster really.

Could always employ some idiots with whistles to stop the traffic while they reverse out....

Although it would impact traffic flow as people would be accessing the back of the pick-up or boot. Nothing works well here!

I was shocked to see they're doing the trenching and underground electric work before they put the concrete in and new pavers on top. Thailand just keeps amazing me. :D

Yes. But is it the right wire?🙃

Another question would be if that roll of conduit in the pic was supposed to be in the trench before they backfilled it.

The 5G Smart Poles are now being installed. Could find no sources on how much these poles are costing, but doubt they come cheap. But hey, the higher the cost, the fatter the brown envelope.

Hope no one is in a rush to use the beach shower. Like most projects here, they get started on the project and then like a kid with attention deficit disorder lose interest and seemingly abandon the project.

Morning roll call for lifeguards. Still don't know if they can swim as I've never seen them in the water.
