Jomtien businesses want say in beach facelift

PATTAYA:--Jomtien Beach business owners have asked the city to give them a say in the shoreline’s ongoing facelift.

They had no input on the previous disaster of a facelift that saw so many shade trees cut down, shoddy walk ways that collapsed at first rain, lack of any drainage, etc. Why should they listen now?
