Jomtien Beach facelift resumes July 27

PATTAYA:--Phase 2 of the Jomtien Beach facelift begins July 27 with sidewalk building and road reconstruction planned to run through February.

 

Pattaya Engineering Department architect Mokora Yawapee briefed restaurant owners, beach vendors and city representatives on the second half of the 660-million-baht project at the Krua Surf restaurant June 26.

 

Construction will begin near the Rabbit Resort in Dongtan Beach and continue to the sea rescue center, a distance of 1.2 kilometers. Plans call for a new 1.5-meter-wide sidewalk and reconstruction of the road with new drainage tunnels laid underneath.

 

Mokora said the objective is to be as environmentally friendly as possible, promising that no trees would be cut period. However, he conceded, some trees may be moved if they obstruct the underground pipes.

 

The final phase of the work from the rescue center to Pratamnak Soi 5 will begin in December and conclude in February, according to the schedule.

Jeez, haven't they ruined enough? (no, money to be made, damn the environment and appearance).  If there is a God, please display a bit of wrath.

Smart idea to resume construction at the start of the wet season.

I am happy for jomtien ,here in pattaya ,the beach is absolutely disgusting and I fear even with the new sand and new umberellas,the tour groups ,power boats and tour buses are here to stay...sadly the beach is just a boat launch/parking lot/ashtray...I had hope the tour groups would end up in Bali pier,...mabey Bali will take a limited amount,but pattaya beach is the only way to move this amount of people to the Parasail platforms an onward to Kho larn...The Death Blow for Pattaya..

facelifts are cosmetic.  Drainage tunnels won't help clean the water.  They need to back up and put in a complete waste water and sewage treatment system, which of course will never happen.  Jomtien was beautiful back in 2004 years.  Plenty of trees and walkway.  Didn't need any of the tree chopping and digging other stuff that went on since
