Rimmer Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Pattaya tells contractors to pick up pace on lagging Bali Hai facelift PATTAYA:--With just a month left until the international fleet show, the renovation of Bali Hai Pier still has nearly a third of the work to go. Pattaya Mayor Anan Charoenchasri and top deputies checked on the progress of the pier facelift Oct. 10, finding it only at 70 percent complete just 34 days until its planned completion date and 40 days until the 50-nation maritime event. The mayor stressed to contractors that they’re running out of time and must be finished before top political and military leaders of Thailand’s neighbors and allies show up expecting a spiffy new jetty.

d2b2 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 We were there the other day on our way to the Hua Hin ferry pier. The site was full of workers, but only 2 or 3 seemed to have been tasked. Maybe some oversight might encourage participation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murraynz Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 reasonably simple resolution---dont ever make advance payments for any type of work in thailand...progress payments ok---but balance only on satisfactory completion.... same theory when buying condos off the plan----very foolish .....

Pdaz Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I'm more interested in seeing what sort of state it is in a Month after the big Naval party.... Run down, rusty and strewn with refuse is my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saminoz Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Seriously, is anyone surprised? After a couple of bragging quotes a week or two ago, where we were told the the face lift was well on schedule, you could have bet money on this happening (if only you could bet!). Re-arrange this well known phrase or saying. Brewery in a organise not could up piss. Losing face over a failed face lift is kind of poetic though!

newnative Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 My partner and I were down there a few days ago and it didn't look anywhere near to being done and seemed quite a mess. Doubt they have a prayer of getting it done on time unless they really pick up the pace. While they're at it, the streets at the traffic light intersection by the overpass have become very bumpy with many potholes--a nice jarring ride for the bigwigs arriving by car.

pieeyed Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 We went to Koh Larn 2 days ago. The main building is under destruction. The pier is a disaster zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asiantravel Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) It's no surprise to me because I have watched at least two occasions where they have completed work in one of the areas and then the next day they were digging it up again they spent a whole day laying new tarmac and the next day they were cutting through it to dig a trench. Obviously no one with project management skills on the job. Edited October 21, 2017 by Asiantravel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny1990 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Well i am excited to see the few trees in that park hanging full with awsome observation cameras its going to be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
