oldrunner Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Fortunately we live one block off Chowpraya (or however it's properly spelt) and aside from motorcycles revving up the hill, we are not subject to the congestion of beach road and all of the SOIs from #2 on out to Sukhumvit. I feel sorry for the workers but hold the crooks who arrange these "contracts" in contempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fforest1 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 This photo was from before they lowered the Promenade to let the water drain..It only took them 3-4 years to figure out water needs a outlet or it just sits there for ages...... I dont get it really the Promenade before 2013 drained great....The Promenade rebuild was a disaster that did not drain beach road and took years to fix....

Just another 95 Million Baht to be shared with the lucky few, the first decent rainstorm after completion will have the usual result. Other opinions are available............. ???? this should not be looked as a drainage issue being solved so much as a mercedes replacement initiative... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skallywag Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I will be smiling as I cruise past everyone on my bicycle as they sit in their infernal combustion machines, idling and immobile on Beach road. After drinking though, will have to put up with sitting in a baht bus and extra 15 minutes or likely walking a few more kilometers. Life goes on, I'm betting personal drones will soon be available for the millionaires in Pattaya, and they will permanently close second road and beach road to all vehicle traffic - LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burgdawg Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 hahahaha...another local joke unfolding. The only way drainage in Pattaya will be "fixed" will be if the city fathers cough up the baht to pay a Japanese or German firm. All else will be subject to rude failure. Just the way it is.....Thai drainage designs work great during dry weather! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sitanonchai Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Seeing previous roadworks they can start again at the beginning of the road when they finished the end of the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
