All of the pictures look like a cartoon fantasy land that has absolutely no resemblance to the land available in the real Pattaya.

The streets are far to narrow to accommodate loosing a lane to a monorail as the can barely handle the existing traffic now. Only 3 stops are planned for 2nd Road and no one is going to walk to and from a distant monorail stop. Traffic will be far worse than now.

What foreign tourists would want to visit here. It's become a sterile place. The tourists want to see something full of eastern promise. And I don't mean Turkish delight.????

[Expat Tom]

Does anyone what to place a bet on that fantasy?

      Can't wait for some lunatic driver to smash into the concrete supports holding up that pretty overhead walkway

They still haven't completed the first Bali Hai marina fiasco - what makes them think they can pull this off?

Possibly Chinese expertise and money!!! I wonder if there will be a casino?? The beginning of another Sihanoukville??

You could well be right. Looks like my favourite little park at Naklua fish market is about to become a car park.

They really are greedy materialist people. Bling and sparkle is all they are interested in.

Pattaya is going to be a very different place in a few years.

Just glad i didn't retire there full time time and sell up at home.

Yes, what a fantasy. The only way is to build over the beach. Reclaim land from the sea and make the place twice as big.

Beware your beach front condo soon has concrete monstrosities and streets of more bars in front of it.

[PerkinsCuthbert]

Nice. After this makeover Pattaya will be Anywhereville, 2025, only with compelling turds.

[ianezy0]

You just need more forward vision.

I can’t wait for the virtual reality robots soliciting  on Beach Rd.

Just swipe your credit card in her slot and away you go. Then back to the Condo at the monorail station just behind the casino, next to the hover baht bus stop.

Let these sleep walkers keep on dreaming

[Phil1975]

This drivel again, every year or 2 it comes by like a bad smell. Unless they demolish or complete the 53 story water front suite condo this plan is impossible. Its been exactly 6 years since construction was halted. The only thing that's happened is the weather entering the unfinished building and making it a lot more expensive to complete the building.

I live up Pratumnak hill and have a view pretty much of all of it from the ‘ naval ‘ tower 

when are they going to knock down that eyesore of a left condo block ?

They seem to hate trees,shrubs,grass anything green....They also seem to dislike fountains.........They also dislike any kind of sitting areas or areas where people can congregate like open grassy areas.....

 

They seem to like that sterile barren stark concrete look...

Parks and greenery don't generate income. Sadly, concrete and smoke and mirrors may prevail.

[Abmong]

And here I thought the "Pattaya Eye" was just Pink Eye...

 

Show us you can walk before you go off running. Start by cleaning the rubbish off the beachs and keeping it clean. Thailand doesn't have a history of landscaping or land management outside of private golf courses. Takes a lot of work to maintain manicured green spaces. Most the greenery I've seen are just left to overgrow if it's on public land or private land for that matter.

 

Oh and you need to photoshop in some sunburnt over the hill no shirt Farangs and bar girls into that picture.

[Guderian]

For goodness sake, the City Council can't even provide us with a proper park, they should start with learning how to do the basics before trying to outdo Singapore. 

[tomauasia]

Where are the tourists you won't open airport lol.

[ecoscape]

Hideous in the extreme. Who on earth would spend money to visit such a sterile landscape?

[Postmaster]

What about that huge cement unfinished condo monolith where developent has stopped overlooking Bali Hai.

What a bad mistake giving planning consent for that if actually it was properly passed.  It needs to be demolished or reduced to 10 floors maximum.

[P100]

Business opportunity. Hurry up! Open Felali shop for the rich Chinese!

 

They want to fix Bali Hai since how many years? The small coffee shop to sit and watch sunset they have closed long ago. Now only a parking place! So loomantic!

 

Nice will it be there - but not until they finished the waterfront (white shilouette on the pictures).

 

Shame on Pattaya for the scam with waterfront and the many foreigners lost their moneys! Still no solution in sight and the Jews back to Israel preparing the next big deal... I hope that ruin stays in the heart of the city for two decades to warn investors of a corrupt Thai government!

 

Next time they approve a project they will remember, approved is approved and if they disapprove it later, they have to live with the consequences, now they even dont have the money to take down the building. The city is responsable for this bancrupsy, they have caused by their late  change of mind and the millions of US Dollars lost by many private investors. Now live with it, stupid and corrupt Pattaya government! Beautiful Bali Hai....-will never be! But the Chinese tour busses don't care any way. They are happy to park there.

Wonder where these 7 mill tourists come from.

[impulse]

Anyone else notice that there isn't a single trash bin in any of those artist renditions?

 

What could possibly go wrong?

 

[jobas69]

Probably sell it of to there Chinese masters so they can build casinos welcome to Chiland 

[Call]

There is some kind of scary high rise building in the area, hopefully included in these fantastic plans.

Besides, the project looks very very charming, genuine Thai style. Amazing, this can be finished already 2023.

Same developer as the tunnel I suppose ????

[gamesgplayemail]

And what about the car park ? can it be used now ?

 

I wonder from where all this money comes from ?

 

500 millions more for the beach, etc... it seems that they always have funds when people are actually starving ! So how can they do ? it's a serious question !
