Pattaya installs pipe to relieve Floating Market-caused flooding

PATTAYA:--City hall has come to the rescue of residents near the Pattaya Floating Market, which has been flooding their neighborhood by improperly managing vacant land next door.

 

A Pattaya Sanitation Department crew was on-site June 13 installing a pump to drain away flood water and dig a trench to install a pipe that will be connected to the sewer system.

 

Residents along Sukhumvit Soi 83 had complained that Floating Market management has continually filled property it owns near the park, raising it to a higher level than surrounding land. But because the land-filling has been uneven and sporadic, large lakes form after heavy rain.

 

The lakes then overflow and all the water runs downhill into their yards.

Sorry, I can't see the Problem. Who owns the "Floating Market"?

It's a dumb tourist trap

It's an environmentally friendly breeding ground for dengue and malaria.  All Thai drainage systems are built with chambers for mosquitoes to lay their eggs.
