Bangkok officials hail rebuilt Pattaya Beach

PATTAYA:--Transport Minister Pairin Chuchottavorn and top marine-management officials hailed the rebuilding of Pattaya Beach at the official grand-opening of the rebuilt shoreline.

 

Reconstruction of Pattaya Beach was completed early this year, but the June 8 ceremony was the official pat-on-the-back to Pattaya and Marine Department officials who spent eight years trying to get it done.

 

Or course, since the rebuild finished, two major storms have ripped huge tracts of new sand back into the sea requiring Pattaya to use heavy machinery to dredge it up from under water and patch the holes.

 

Pattaya Deputy Mayor Ronakit Ekasingh accepted the congratulations from top Department of Marine and Coastal Resources officials.

 

The February 2019 completion brought to a close a tortuous eight years for Pattaya, which began the 600-million-baht-plus project in 2011 after a warning by environmental experts that Pattaya’s sandy shoreline could be wiped away within five years. Various patch jobs delayed the inevitable, but multiple missteps by both Pattaya City Hall and its expensive consultants repeatedly put the project even further behind schedule.

Where are the tourists?

Oh, very well done chaps! Now all they need to do is to work out how to stop it being washed away every time it rains, and stop the untreated sewage continually finding its way into the water. After all, tourists coming to get a tan on their skin will prefer it to be from the sun, not the scum floating on top of the filthy water.

Until the hail returns and washes it all away????

Expensive consultants they left out deep pockets of govt officials ????

Searching for prostitutes? 

Thailand, where failure and waste gets you a pat on the back!

Agree with Jacko above.  Talk about cheek!  Billions of baht siphoned off who knows where; millions spent on a temporary fix; all to be repeated alternate weeks in the rainy season.  

Yet they stand preening themselves on a job well done!

But did they prostrate themselves and make a wai? Can we look forward to sandbanks on the approach to the Din Daeng underpass? How much IS that doggie in the window? So many questions, so little time....

June 8 has now been declared a public holiday: All Hail the Beach Day.

The public is urged to visit and bring their plastic bags.

One big dog and pony show.

actually pattaya beach is where you can run and get the full "skimboard" experience of sliding on the sand in shallow water as the bottom is slimy and slippery.

Criminal action should be brought to bare against these expensive consultants as not fit for purpose and for misleading our saintly friends in city hall.
