Oziex1 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 The way I read this is they were encroaching onto the beach to allow for commercial development. I personally prefer the whole beach, a treed and grassed area perhaps then the bars and restaurants. Left to the developers you get a metre of beach a crumbling seawall then the usual commercial mayhem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burma Bill Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Unbelievable - not knowing on one hand what the other is doing. Is there a Thai word for co-operation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpy 4680 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Logically, it does seem a ridiculous place to build a wall if not down to some sort of bedrock, One good storm, and the waves will be under and over the wall, soon smashing it to bits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NamKangMan Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 How embarrassing. No due diligence. No exchange of information between departments. Probably one department more corrupt than the other. Crazy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfokevin Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 My bet is that what has already been built will not me “moved”... it will be covered with sand and a new wall built in the proper place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
