Pique Dard Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 with all those millions and millions of baht mass tourism bring in, i'm sure pattaya's administrative authorities can afford to prevent this recurrent flooding problem...if they wanted to.

dabhand Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 9 hours ago, thaibeachlovers said: LOL. 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. No problem. It just needs a government that will spend the money where it is intended for. Let's face it, we know why Pattaya is a disaster area, and the only question is will it ever change? Yup, no floods in Singapore. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floods_in_Singapore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some in the north once, and the idiot driver went too fast and stalled it in the water. Not that it was over the floor boards or anything like that. I do not recall anything as severe as Pattaya is regularly experiencing. Interesting that they only give instances in the Wiki from 2010, decades after I lived there. The kid that drowned didn't die in a flood, but in the drain. Notice that when they discovered why the flood occurred in Orchard Rd area they actually did something about it. Fat chance of Pattaya city council being so proactive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a video somewhere on my computer, taken over 15 years ago, showing central Pattaya under inches of water at this time of the year, flowing through bars and shops on 3rd road.

I was referring to Singapore. Pattaya has flooded regularly, but more so than I remember before they widened beach Rd. I think they must have destroyed the existing big drains under Beach Rd, or filled them with debris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaZa9 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Wasnt I recently reading that the central government gave 600 million for drainage works 3 years back , and nothing was done and the 600 million is all gone ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 6 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 It's become such a wasteland. Left in 2008, 3-4 years too late. Never looked back. I can't think of one good reason to live in Pattaya. Oh yeah it's supposed to be cheap. Seems it's value relative to the broken city and it's amenities. Really has just appeared as a total dump these last ten years, especially the last five. A city under it's own weight of corruption, incompetence and lack of education. Can't run a city of one million like a city of 100k. But still they will holiday and even live there. Happy enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could give them some direction within a few hours, but hey, I don't live there so it doesn't bother me! Evidently a start would be... Thai not using the street as a garbage tip City services bothering to do routine maintenance in season most prone to flooding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 The experience is mostly that of building personal wealth not town and city planning. Not much immediaate money to be made in building concrete trenches, until it becomes lucrative it will not happen. White water rafting anyone?

The experts from 2007 were surely in need of your skills. Or maybe other European town that is close to the sea or rivers and that has flooding. Teach us master how are you going to do when 3 months worth of precipitations are suddenly pouring in a matter of 24 hours. Don't talk shit , please.
