What ever are they doing to my favorite Soi

[CatCage]

Just arrived back in town and find It's almost impossible to get to my favorite bar on Soi 13/4 off Beach Road, anybody know what they are doing here and how long this is going to last?

Can't even walk on the sidewalk as it has all been blocked by bar owners extending their premises and now impassable.   

[Mavrix]

Geezer in the check shirt don't seem too bothered.

They'll be sorry now that no one can get their shop, and they aren't making any money.

[champers]

Plenty other options for the OP to explore.

Looks like they are laying new sewer/stormwater run off drains,could be done in a few weeks to a few months if lucky.

There is nobody in Pattaya that can predict when any construction job will be finished. Best guess will be 'late'...

[Jools]

Do you think that they CARE if you can spend money in their shop or not???  Every Thai knows that the laws of economics do not apply in Thailand. If they have an economic downturn, it's all the fault of farangs, never of Thais. Our only function is to pump money into their economy. If they prevent it from being pumped, it's STILL our fault if they don't receive the benefits. Action does not produce reaction in Thailand, nor does anything have consequences unless it's an act performed by a farang.  Outsiders need to internalize these Thai values and understand them. They won't change.

Must be an up and coming new naval parade !

Looks like they stuck sea water unfortunately that puddle is all they found the rest was sewerage and the sand dune has now been declared a no smoking beach.

Just lace up your safety shoes, don a hard hat and enjoy an icy drink at your favorite bar.

=Problem solved.

They are replacing the drains and pavement.  The same was done on other adjacent sois and was done promptly and efficiently .

Must be a different group that was working on Soi Siam Country Club.............promptly and efficiently didn't come into play.

I´m staying at classroom hotel in a few days. Is it the entire road?

I guess it could be interesting to drink a few beers and watch their work from the balcony if nothing else.

[The manic]

The particular homosexual ghetto you are referring to is undergoing much need infrastructure development Wish they would do the same on Soi Cosy Beach and Soi Canterbury tales. These non maintained private road are shameful and dangerous.

Yes, 'interesting', watching men work in the hot sun at the gay district sounds like a decent holiday.  Hope the construction does not derail your time. 

[thrilled]

I’m glad your not referring to Soi 6.You had me worried.

Better hope it isn't another Country Club road fiasco!

On the other hand the work at Soi Siam Country Club was delayed indefinitely

Yes, I was told they had completed the job and it looked pretty good and they have moved on to another street. Pleasant surprise and I need to go take a look.

[Ulic]

I was expecting you to be making a comment on something going on, on Soi 6.  

[Rimmer]

Not sure if this is good news or bad news for the OP

If the front door doesn't work for you, try the back door from Boys Town.

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, the pipes look a bit small, and could be that they will be redoing the project with bigger pipes in a year or so.

That happened on Beach Rd 3 times back in the 90s as kept putting in pipes too small. The final version did work.

I talked to one of the workers and he said finished in April ?
