Rimmer Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Pattaya Beach rebuild to wrap by March – Marine Dept. PATTAYA:--The promised year-end completion date for the rebuilding of Pattaya Beach came and went without a word from city hall, but officials are now vowing the work will wrap this month. Pattaya Marine Department Director Ekaraj Kantaro said Feb. 7 that contractor Marine Construction Co. is down to the southernmost 100 meters of beachfront. Only leveling of the sand and sand bag work remains. Once complete, the Marine Department has set its sights on Jomtien Beach as the next target for erosion mitigation. The Marine Department has requested a 590-million-baht budget for a restoration project to cover three kilometers of Jomtien. -- PATTAYA MAIL 2019-15-02-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammieuk1 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 It will all be washed away on the first turd filled high tide no doubt ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heng Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 If I were mayor I'd replenish the beach regularly with bleached (or whatever process works best) sand. No different from sprucing up a beauty pageant contestant with plastic surgery or not allowing Disney employees to smoke at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cake Monster Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 590 Mil is needed to cover the cost of special sand to be imported from an Island out in the Gulf somewhere ? and the cost of extra brown envelopes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newnative Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Say what you will, the beach is looking great. Drove by Pattaya Beach this morning and then found myself driving by Jomtien Beach later and noticed how narrow Jomtien Beach is in comparison. Glad they are planning to widen it, too.

jacko45k Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Can't wait to try it for the next Fireworks competition. It was truly disgusting last year, parts under construction and full of litter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
