Is the Pattaya beach still there or has it been flushed into the sea already? I haven't been since they put more sand in there.

Of course it is still there, they seem to be taking reasonable care of it.

Will it be finished for the next High Season in 2026?

Pattaya beach is a place for prostitutes to gather , I guess a few more short time rooms might help .is this what they learned ? They should do better at sewage control (50%to plant /50% to ocean ,not good )and smell . Not enough graft in that , better money in sand graft .

NOT YET as you say.....then what will happen ???

all get washed back into the sea......

think the old saying "money down the drain" come into play........

Hope it does get washed away by a storm as soon as it’s finished. One reason that I prefer Jomtien beach to the new style Pattaya beach is that up till now at Ieast I haven’t had to walk over 50 yards of hot sand to get from my spot under a shade tree to the water.

I've heard Pattaya called many things ... however, beautiful isn't one of them     !!

Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder

Just google Pattaya or Jomtien "black water"

That isn't evidence of "raw sewerage floating past" or even of raw sewerage being discharged into the sea. Sorry--I know how disappointing that must be.

There are plans for some underground ones  I believe. 

[johng]

I think there was some flooding in Pattaya last night..some talk about all the money spent on drainage being worthless.

 

[johng]

Yes some flooding in Jomtien too.

Because 'someone" gets a very nice cut of the money that's supposed to be spent on the project.
