overherebc Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) Latest story scuttling around in semi-hushed tones is that the riversides ( both sides, ) on the other side of the bridge from where Bella Vista was washed away is going to be a park area extending quite a way inland.

The bit that they have just cleared and put a retaining wall around has a for rent sign on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if that would be a good deal. When BV was washed away the water level was way above the level of that land, at least 1.5/2.0 metres up. Was told it was high enough to remove BV's foot bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huangnon Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 ^Seconded. The Banchang outlet is probably the worst Tesco's I've seen in Thailand. ???? Would be nice if Villa or Foodland opened a branch nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C5VETTE Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I heard for years that there is a local "strongman" that stop development of all supermarkets in BC to save the "mom & pop" stores.

huangnon Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 ^Yep, agreed. Sid doing a good job with the shop, stocking pretty much everything I need. Running out of excuses to go to Pattaya now. ???? The "Seri Frozen" frozen food shop on the same road does some good stuff, too. Fish and steaks well represented. Little goldmine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilcopops Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Not really improvements are they?... its urbanisation due to the explosion in industry and population that is imminent. At present it appears some businesses are moving in in anticipation of the large increase in foreign mangers expected as well as a general increase in the labour population and house building. Whereas mega infrastructure maybe in place one wonders at the capacity of local systems to cope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toosetinmyways Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Open area diagonally opposite 7/11 situated next to Royal Place apartments where the old watermelon shop was is now boarded up and a 7/11 sign displayed.

By the sounds of it it appears that soon you will be able to hold up your order above the garden wall 7/11 will see it and pass it over the wall to you.

The site seems just big enough for the store but no parking and the street will end up more congested. Will not be a pretty site to drive there at certain times of the day,,,,,,,,,,another bottleneck and danger zone to stay away from. Too bad they cannot plan something and make it better.
