Pattaya Beach rebuild months behind schedule

PATTAYA:-- he much-delayed restoration of Pattaya Beach is running badly behind schedule with little chance of an August completion as promised by Mayor Anan Charoenchasri.

 

Speaking to the July 11 meeting of the Pattaya Business & Tourism Association meeting at the Green Park Resort, Marine Department Director Ekaraj Kantaro said that contractors have rebuilt only the 400 northernmost meters of the erosion-worn beachfront since work began in earnest in April.

 

With 2.3 kilometers of beach left to go, there’s virtually no chance it will be completed by the end of next month, as promised April 23 by the mayor.

 

Kantaro updated the business leaders on the tormented history of the 500-million-baht-plus project first begun in 2011 after a warning by environmental experts that Pattaya’s sandy shoreline could be wiped away within five years.

 

The project has been halted several times because of the city’s inability to acquire a source of appropriate sand.

Finally in early March following a 15-month suspension, the sand-refill project halted March 20 when the Marine Department decreed that the sand brought in from Koh Rang, a small island south of Koh Chang, didn’t match Pattaya’s beachfront well enough.

Why just select Pattaya Beach. Everything in Thailand is behind schedule. You name it; elections. high speed trains, slow speed trains, pavement clearances, reducing corruption and road deaths, police and teaching reviews and the list goes on. The only thing not behind schedule is civil servant's pay rises.

Since April until now to cover 400 mtr's with only another 2.3 k's to go .. I would have substituted  the " virtually " from the above with definitely ..

2020 anyone .?

Well here we are 2018 and the beach is still there.  ?

How do you match sand?  Is it graded according to grain size?  Are their colour charts?  You could plough up any field in Issaan and come up with 2.3 kilometresworth.
