Pattaya looks set to get an extreme sports facility under the flyover leading to the Bali Hai port in South Pattaya.

 

A budget of 10 million baht has been allocated to convert the area under the flyover to cater to skateboarding and skate surfing as well as a Takraw and a basketball playing area. 

 

Mayor Sontaya Khunpluem and a deputy were in conversation at the site yesterday with a representative of Extreme Sports Thailand who are working on the project.

After this the mayor went to the Bali Hai area to inspect developments on improvements being made there, reported Pattaya Update News.

Hard to keeps up. Let's see what happens after the inevitable 24 month delay 

They might want to fix what they're standing before doing anything those cracks look extensive .

Maybe also expensive (at least on the budgetary estimate).

 

Is the sports area located in the middle of a road junction? Getting to it safely could be more extreme than the sports played within.

I'm getting a clearer picture each day of what desperation looks like!

Hardly as "extreme" as other dangerous sports in Pattaya such as crossing the road, swimming in sewage or lady-geezer baiting !

Extreme sports ? I think the drive there will be more of an extreme sport than the actual sport

Mayor looks well fed. 

Basket ball court ? how many ‘locals’ play basket ball ??

 

Saipak Takraw - ok..  and skateboarding - So what level of quality can be constructed for 1 million baht ????

 

Actually, I imagine 1 million baht could construct something fairly reasonable.... 

Its big money for just chasing out some stray dogs who enjoy the shade.

Facilities that are built tend to be neglected and fall into disrepair. One need only look at the pathetic condition of the childrens playground, Jomtien Beach, across from the night market. Having been closed for months due to the latest, it would seem a perfect time to repair the rubberized play surface and other areas within.

 

Talk about a bad image. That includes the stained and filthy Jomtien Beach promanade footpath. Someone ought to invent a pathway scrubber/cleaner. Oh wait!...it has been invented. If it we here, it most likely would break down due to neglect and lack of maintenance.

Survivors will be given ten extra points.

This was discussed months ago and most likely will die a death like all the other stories that come out

 Now this is what I call an "extreme sport" - are people going to be allowed to jump off the flyover??

Mayor flying high again!

He's got too much free time in his hands I think.

Neo Pattaya,

Pattaya to become "quarantine travel bubble"

Pattaya to become next Miami, next Singapore, next Dubai

 

What's next?

Excellent place for sports.

Partakers can use their lungs to filter the exhaust from the traffic waiting at the lights.

saw a group of thais having a BBQ on the rubberized play area  inside the playground not long after it opened, you can still see the melted hole from their BBQ just inside the enterance

Extreme sport  - BDSM activities?

Loads. My condo complex has a basketball court and it is well used, mostly by Thais.

Many playgrounds under flyovers in Bangkok so not an altogether an original idea.
