Pattaya watch out! "Chumpon Riviera" set to become world class resort area

 

Picture: Daily News

 

Business leaders hailed the actions of the government after the mobile cabinet meeting held in Chumpon announced the creation of the "Chumpon Riviera".

 

It is part of upgrades and building of the coastal road that will link Petchaburi with Songkhla in the far south.

 

The government have said they want to develop the area into a world class area for tourism.

 

The mobile cabinet meeting held this week agreed to spend a budget on the four lane road. Daily News said it will bring prosperity to the region.

 

Business leader Sakchai Sriyutthakrai said it was exciting news that would develop land near the road and boost the economy.

 

Preecha Butjan former head of the lawyer's council in Lang Suan near Chumpon said that it would give the people there a chance to create a popular tourist area that could rival anywhere in Thailand.

 

That could mean the "Chumpon Riviera" becoming a competitor for more established beach resorts like Pattaya.

Doing border runs to Ranong from HH, passing through Chumpon anytime of year was rain, rain, rain. Not the best of places and too far for a day/weekend trip ftom BKK.

So many world class destinations to take the family, I'm spoiled by the vast amount of choices.

[lust]

The beach and water aren’t world class though...

[SoilSpoil]

Chumpon has over 200 km of unspoilt beaches. I hope it will stay this way.

yes time to start trashing another part of Thailand.how about spending the money to clean up and repairing the other resorts first.as for world class resorts,we can see what their idea is of world class by looking at Pattaya.i want to know which smart arse come up with the riviera idea because he needs to be sent on to inactive duties.anyway here's some plans for the beach.

[mercman24]

mobile cabinet meetings my ass, this guy is canvassing and offering cherries to places he visits, meanwhile while banning other parties from gatherings, and having any agenda for the voter to decide who to vote for, i hope the voting public can see through this charade, not holding my breath, history has shown that countries taken over illegally, the despot never goes quietly, you can tell this guy likes power as he has his finger in every pie, not letting the persons whoes job it is to do their job , without having his say. they are merely his puppets

Pattaya watch out! "Chumpon Riviera" set to become world class resort area

...... complete with ladyboys, jetski scams, a walking street, go-go bars, pool orgies, and the usual "high quality tourists" all imported from Pattaya, Patong and Patpong by the usual local and overseas mafia, overseen by the BIB ..... 

[lanista]

Why do Thais keep referring to Pattaya as a beach resort??? There's no beach there unless you like swimming in brown toxic water with turds floating about.

Chumpon is also another major waste dumping area as many parts of the beach are long ways from the main highway. I went there a few years back and there were three enormous pipes running through some private properties down onto the beach and into the water.  God only knows what was being pumped into the Gulf.

Sounds like you could be part of the entertainment  planning team,when do you want to start?

[Lupatria]

I need to check the latest edition of my BBC English Dictionary if there was a recent change to the term "world class".

[sammieuk1]

Great idea they already have the dam water just need some sand a couple of loungers and see the money roll in?

Another day.......another government dream.

No Riviera is complete without a casino. Could this be the trigger for a legalised casino?

Chump on riviera.not a very catching name.sounds more like a meat factory beside the sea.anyway it was only an idea in a meeting.probably forgotten about after a big slap up lunch.

[Destiny1990]

At least they got gasoline stations nowadays overthere.

[Expatthailover]

Lets hope they are a tad more discerning woth the expats and tourists who they try to attract.

Place could do without the fat old harvey weinstein wannabes who abuse the local women and insult locals and thai institutions.

[Redline]

Are we in la-la land again?  I want some of whatever they are on

[tattoodrob]

I would hazard  a guess and say that Mr Prayut owns a considerable amount of beach front land there!

Its too far and nothing sets it apart from pattaya or island destinations, keep on dreaming.

Yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[anon789561]

This hasn’t come from one meeting it has been talked about for years. Seems to be aiming for domestic tourism in the main. I hope nothing much comes of it as i like chumphon just the way it is.
