Popular Post webfact Posted March 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2021 Geologist speaks out about mistakes made in construction of major new port near Hua Hin Picture Talk News Online A leading former geologist at Chula university and councillor in Prachuap Khiri Khan said that the construction of the Klong Wan port in Muang district was a case study in most things that could go wrong. It was a dreadful waste of 430 million baht of harbor department money, said Thiwa Suphajanya. Environmental impact studies were not properly made for the port that was finished in 2008. It has silted up and is now largely unusable. In addition the sea walls and construction has changed the sea patterns resulting in more money needed to be thrown at repairing damage caused by erosion to the shore. Wisdom of fisherman whose opinions were ignored in the rush to construct the port was another point in the mistakes that were made, reported Talk News Online. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-03-11 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Surelynot Posted March 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2021 Could be worse......if they had the UK's SERCO Test and Trace system then they would know what waste was. They could have built 3,200 ports and still had change left over with what Test and Trace has cost. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlmcleod Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 This port seems like a good spot for the new submarines from China! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroveHillWanderer Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Not sure I would describe Klong Wan as being "near Hua Hin." It's over 100 km away, a little to the south of Prachuap Khiri Khan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
