Bantex Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 “A build up of trash by drains in Soi Wat Bun Samphan was inhibiting fast drainage.” Another case of Thai littering causing damage and environmental problems but I’m sure the felangs will be blamed, they’re good at that.

pookett Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I am disappointed by the lack of vision shown by TV members. It must be obvious that the hyper intelligent and forward thinking planners have decided to kill two birds with one stone. Allow plastic garbage to build up over a period of years so that it blocks all natural and man made run off, while also negating the need to clear said plastics. Then, re-market Pattaya as the Venice of the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooking fats, waste, laundry grey water. All going into the same drain. Many food vendors cover the drains to stop the stench. I wonder why? Should be three separate pipes. Storm water. Household grey water. Sewerage. Here we have an all in one system. Then straight into the ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaurene Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 When oh when are the government going to step in to sort this flooding out in Pattaya, every year over the last 40yrs it is still happening, each year the government puts millions into the Pataya council money bag, which every one assumes on good evidence, they say, gets shared out by the mayor. It will never change. The council needs to be investigated where the money goes. No mention about the Sukumvite Tunnel with water. the Mayor will have that sealed off from reporters. it there is possibilities of water in there, they will have the tunnel closed for some invented reason.

Nokbkk Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Same shit happens in all Western European countries, from 50 years ago to today: EVERY year, we have 5-6 small summer storms in France, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, etc. EVERY year, damage to infrastructure, water entering houses up to one meter high. Our governments do nothing, only advice to have an insurance policy. They even build villages in lower areas, formerly known as flood areas. I’ve never been to America, only know they have some hurricanes, tornadoes, EVERY year again. Only a few days ago, more than 60,000 homes were without power, restoration efforts could take weeks. What they do to prevent ? Not one country can handle natural violence, so stop putting your shit on Thailand. The only solution: Look at all the streets in Pattaya during storms; they become rivers. You’ll need sewers as big as the streets, all over, under every street. If in the early days better infrastructure was provided, the misery would be halve, not disappear. We still would be making jokes at Thaivisa. And please, do not ask the Dutch to help solve flooding problems. After 1953 the spend billions on Delta Works, knowing it is lost money. Or what about the gas operations in Northern parts of that country. Really, you don’t want that gouvernement in your country ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, if they will have councils that are not there to maintain the city infrastructure, but for other purposes ( and you know what I'm talking about ) this will only continue. Wonder how all those big mall owners decided to move to a city that was a disaster, infrastructure wise ( no need to answer- we can guess! ). Gee wizz, one would think that such storms had never occurred in Pattaya before, but as it only takes a normal rain to flood Beach Rd, no prizes for anticipating worse flooding in an actual storm. Shame of it is that had there been any competent people on the council, and had the money actually been spent on drains, and had the contractors had workers that actually knew how to do drains, none of this would have happened. Gosh, and I can remember how before they widened Beach Rd, there never seemed to be as much flooding. Soooooo, as long as it's business as usual in city hall, expect no change in the future.

Singapore gets just as much rain as LOS, and they manage to avoid floods. Perhaps it's because they actually have a government that does its job and doesn't look at a government job as an opportunity to make money. 14 hours ago, Nokbkk said: Look at all the streets in Pattaya during storms; they become rivers.
