Lot's of big brown envelopes in this one. Less money for the actual construction, lots of short cuts equals bigger pockets. How can this ever stop when the one's that have the power to stop it are the one's doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People seem to forget that countries who are good at developing had to crawl before they walked too. Seems to me it was not so long ago that a balcony collapsed in a residence in Berkley colledge....and that is not in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Portugal I stayed in a condo development about .5km away from a sewage treatment plant....I didn't know that when I booked the condo...on days when the wind was blowing from the sewage plant...the smell was just about unbearable....I swear that you could taste it....

johng Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Water treatment or unused sewerage treatment??Unused sewage treatment plant at the moment...but maybe when the high rise "luxury" condos are finishedthe treatment plant will be used,all the effluent needs to go somewhere.

Serious question! How ever much it is it is obviously affordable and profitable for both parties. Remember life is cheap in Thailand, especially if it is not yours.

If you are driving from Jomtien Second Road heading toward Sukhumvit, it's on the left side of the road not far past the big fresh market and Majestic Condo. It's called Savannah Sands.

Hooliganzone Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I drive past this so called construction nearly everyday i have mentioned to my wife that there doesn't seem to be any building going on never see trucks going in or out or people working. To me it looks as if they have run out of money and just do a bit at a time when some money arrives. It should be knocked down looks like a eyesore and dangerous.

Yes in "civilised" countries but even there accidents happen and not much is going to stop a tower crane once it falls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quadperfect Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Safety,construction methods and thai law are all good reasons to never buy property here. I would say its 10 percent of those that do actually buy here are happy with there choice the other 90 are just like these people here. Miserable.
