Are they legal ? When I lived there 90s everyone would say No....your building over a beach (yes a rocky beach) then it became a world tourist attraction --like Bugis Street Singapore was for 30 years ,until they moved on it. So I guess all is forgiven..(until they decide its not needed.) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Peterw42 Posted February 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2021 They are legal at low tide and illegal at high tide. I dont think anyone can make a blanket statement, some are legal some are not. Some, the original structure is legal but decks and additions are not etc. From the street it doesn't really make much difference and most buildings the patrons would be unaware and unconcerned. It seems like an odd thing to be unimpressed about. Half the building on the land side of the street are probably illegal in some way 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't there some mean line they use? I was of the opinion they were all illegally built over beach that they cannot possibly own. Not tried to walk down there, but surely it is every building from The Beer Garden to La Notte. Even the satellite view from Google Maps suggests that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still dont get why it worries people though, as a punter it doesn't make any difference to me. 99 % of the visitor's are probably unaware.

What a "stupid" post. My remark had nothing to do with your opinion, which you of course are entitled to, it referred to your question. So why does the legality of the buildings appear to have concerned you on your extensive visits? Edited February 17, 2021 by Salerno 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantomfiddler Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 The beach belongs to the Royal Thai Navy, meaning that ALL buildings over it are encroaching illegally, but if sufficient payments have obviously been made then why not just leave it alone and allow the night scene to provide great entertainment to the willing hordes of tourists who love the way it was ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need to look at anything I've seen it and worse throughout Pattaya! you think it is bad just go around to the canal! To be honest I have a lot of stuff worse to think about than rust and a building falling down when I get a free night out with the endorsement from the Thai wife and kids the last thing I'm going to do is worry about a building falling down the danger I go through on my bike just to get to the tit and ass when inside I just want to cool down and be a handsome man again???? there is no comparison but thanks for thinking about my health. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It either belongs to the crown, or the public. I doubt the public received any payments yet they have been deprived of free access to the land... If anybody received payments there wasn't likely a rent book, or a chanote that covered the beach area. There is also the area at the other end of Beach Rd that The Dusit Hotel claimed, but that is a rocky peninsular. I remember a pedestrian wanting to get to the Naklua side had to walk the long way around.... for a time the Dusit had built a bridge/ walkway around it to give access but it fell into disrepair... or the sea. A bit of an admission of guilt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred345 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Of course most of them are illegal but they’ve all got ‘official’ paperwork saying they are legal thanks to payments made long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
