No that would be losing face can't do that. yes some truth to it but if no new beach then no new watch and mercedes!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the authority gets this difficult situation sorted soon and that the B400m loss is painlessly recovered from the expat society through taxes. Why should expats have to pay for someone’s madness if it happened in your own country would you come out with such a silly idea. It’s like Koh Samui 50 + million baht properties with 500 baht roads which have now been covered in tarmac and are already lifting after the floods because there is not enough road drainage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it one of those pure bad luck situations ? The US has proper sewage systems so no it would not happen. 1 hour ago, ebean001 said: I remember scenes like that in FLorida. Rip-tides. People and sand are lost but normally the sand is taken out to sea off the beach ares. Pattaya problem is not tidal, it’s a runoff and sewage system problem. No sea wall or breakers or dumping sand on the beach is going to help until the drainage issue is resolved 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarangDoingHisThing69 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 This is a lot of money to spend on a beach that leads to raw sewage and a wall of speedboats. How do they expect to see any return? Will they dole out a trillion baht in modernization measures to stop raw sewage from flowing freely into the water, right near the Beer Garden? How about the trash floating in the water?The beach wasn’t the only issue. Maybe more farang need to be caught having nookie for them to just say screw it and cordon off the whole thing for drunk farang, the only people with beer goggles bad enough to WANT to be there.Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can help explain, as normal no real thought was put into project just as plans to remain pm with a fixed election were put in place no thought was put in. incompetence shines through what you write about taxes is correct expats probably pay the most taxes, people do grass each other up on the taxes but it is non Thai who are chased over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
