Walking Street seen from underneath

[maik 444]

I took a walk on the beach under the buildings on the west side of Walking Street. Start from Pattaya Beer Garden and finish just before Bali Hai Pier. The walk took 25 minutes.

Very interesting perspective of WS! You're a brave guy to walk under there.

I guess that they have to be inspected by Council periodically, and money would change hands....??

Or at the very least catch something unpleasant emanating from the discharge of those freefalling big bore plastic waste/sewage outlets

The toilet in supposedly one of the better a-go-go-s was a hole in floor. You could see the beach when the tide was out. They probably were not the only business along there with such "modern" ? plumbing.

Remember thinking one time that any terrorist could easily sail a small boat laden with explosives under there and make a bit of a mess of a packed disco etc.

Son is a Civil Engineer visiting in Nov. Told him we may talk a walk down there for his opinion.   "No Dad we will not".

Looks like about beer garden going to collapse soon with the exposed rebar and corroded concrete pillars. Thailand doesn’t have the best safety regs in place

With the long term threat of being 'illegal businesses' I expect people do not want to invest in the structures...

The authorities have a cunning plan! Wait it out till one part collapse completely or partially,then declare the whole lot unsafe.Swifly followed with a total demolition.In the meantime screw the punters and tourists out of as much money as they can.Another reason to avoid walking street.

Not sure it is much of a cunning plan or simply the way things get done here.......do nowt until one's hand is forced, usually at the cost of a life or three.

saw a report not too long ago on a YouTube news channel that the city is actually trying to revamp walking street and wants to pretty much rid walking street of all the nightlife.

Maybe if it collapses they can put their plan in place
