webfact Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Demolition of "Bali Hai Sunset" just the start as illegal buildings face the end in Pattaya Picture Manager Online Pattaya's mayor has said that the pulling down of a well known South Pattaya restaurant will be the start of many such demolitions on buildings encroaching on public land at the resort. What was once the fancy "Bali Hai Sunset" restaurant looking out on the bay at Bali Hai promontory is now just a heap of rubble. Following a court order and a last gasp stay of execution workers have now pulled down the offending structure that despite some legal documents was deemed to have been built on public land. Engineer Naris Chertsunya at the scene of the demolition yesterday told Manager that this was just the start. Picture Manager Online "There are many illegal buildings in Pattaya," he said. "Mayor Anan Jaroensri has ordered the authority to get tough and remove all such property from public land".

Popular Post darksidedog Posted January 30, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2018 It would be interesting to see them do this nationwide. I suspect there would be a massive number of properties that would be found encroaching on Public land or just totally illegal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will really believe there is serious intent if that is removed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrobay Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Looks like there aint going to be no end to this - construction / destruction, reconstruction , deconstruction around here.I like cities, I like built up places. But its a chaotic environment during the process. Edited January 30, 2018 by morrobay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if its protection walls are clearly built on the Beach, they will never remove it ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wealthychef Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I guess the owner couldn't find enough cash to bribe his way out of it eh? It's sad but I am deeply suspicious about all business and police dealings in this country. I hope my cynicism is unwarranted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This had been discussed and explained a few years back at Pattaya City Hall. I remember old pictures shown on Internet, taken before the Dusit construction, and what's look now as a big structure built on the sea was in fact already a big rock formation going inside the sea. They just made the top a little more plan to put vegetation on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukSiam1 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Too bad. That was my favourite restaurant for a romantic meal with a special friend. Fantastic view, great ambience, delicious western and Thai food at a reasonable price and good service. I'm sorry to see it go when there are so many other places I would rather see demolished.

Yeah right! get tough as you had the last 30 years! there are 101 illegal establishments on Walking and you had to start with the cutest, the least bothersome and the most out-of-sight one there is.. Ahh I forgot! of course!...the others are too busy bustling with thousands of patrons visiting daily , will destroy the tourism(income) and owned by untouchable politicians or less-than-friendly mob! So which one goes down next? the little resto by the lighthouse? LOL If you wanna do Pattaya a favor, just remove the trash around the city first!! And while you're at it, clean the rubble from the Bali Hai marina as all you are expert at is in creating rubble, not cleaning one...

Quite right. They'll leave the broken concrete there forever, and it'll become a haven for rats and homeless people, or someone with a big envelope will be allowed to build some thing ( that's my pick as to what will happen ). Do they even have a plan as to what to put there instead? They stole the Bali Hi park to build a useless car park that doesn't work, so how about demolishing that? If they demolished Waterfront I'd agree with that improvement. It's not that they are demolishing the seafront buildings that is the problem, it's that they haven't sorted any of the hundreds of real problems in Pattaya. Their priorities are so warped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
