The money comes from EEC funds - the much vaunted Eastern Economic Corridor that plans to develop great swathes of the eastern seaboard. Picture: Sophon Cable TV The money would be spent on plans in three main areas as follows: 1. Developing the Khao Thap Phraya area as a tourism destination. The hill that overlooks the Jomtien area is a landmark of Pattaya ripe for further development, said the mayor. 2. Developing transport links for tourism and solving Pattaya's transport problems. This would include putting plans together to build two new ports to ease the pressure on the Bali Hai port. The ports are proposed to be on Jomtien and Krating Lai beaches. 3. Developing Koh Larn as a major tourism destination that could attract 5 million tourists a year. This scheme is part of ambitious plans to develop other islands on the eastern seaboard namely Koh Samet off the Rayong coast and Koh Si Chang off Si Racha, Chonburi.businesses afloat.

Popular Post twocatsmac Posted August 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 28, 2020 Let’s do for Jomtien and Ko Larn what we did for Ko Phi Phi. Sadly, overdevelopment isn’t a word these goons are familiar with. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This day and age 80 million THB is not that much. It will only just pay for two newly built houses up for sale in the more affluent part of the gated housing estate I live in! So great swathes seems to be over egging a bit! Edited August 28, 2020 by Hamus Yaigh 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Bali hai marina debacle few years ago we can say they have already a good expertise in the matter They are not even able to maintain properly the small floating white and red buoys belts protecting bathers from jetski and boats on Pattaya beach Edited August 28, 2020 by kingofthemountain 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedrogaz Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Investments in Thai infrastructure are a great way to spend money emptying Thais displaced by the COVID impact on tourism. Making the infrastructure better will attract more tourists when the place opens up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, 80 million just for developing the plans to do the work later, that should cost billions if there was ever any money for that.

holy cow cm Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 More pollution from dirty leaking boats and everything else to spill into the water from what's related to the pier. Maybe they can put it more south down by where the sludge flows into the water. The traffic is already terrible let alone to have more bussed and trucked in. Terrible idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
