Manoch Nongyai, Pattaya Deputy Mayor, on Wednesday, August 24th, responded to citizens’ grievances about a new bridge over the South Pattaya canal, which the concerned citizens said may have been constructed without proper permission. According to Manoch, there were three bridges over the canal, but only the one owned by Siam Bayshore Hotel was built legally with permission from the Marine Department. The deputy carried on that the other two bridges were owned by private parties and lacked permission, so they would soon be demolished. One, however, was still being debated in court because the owner had filed an appeal, Manoch added.
