Popular Post webfact Posted May 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 13, 2021 Picture: Sophon Cable TV Sophon Cable TV quoted Pattaya's mayor as saying that a new park in Jomtien is just about 100% complete. The Soi Chaiyapreuk 4 Nong Pong park will be a "new lung" for Jomtien residents, said the media on Facebook. Picture: Sophon Cable TV Work began on transforming the area in the middle of last year at a cost of 32 million baht. All that remains to be done is the electrics and a fitness area, said mayor Sontaya Khunplome. The park is expected to open its doors in July. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-05-13 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Pictures: Sophon Cable TV 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that remains to be done is the electrics and a fitness area, said mayor Sontaya Khunplome. The park is expected to open its doors in July. 32 Million was the amount the tax payer was charged. Real cost was 2 Million and rest admin fees. Friend Jojo told me. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How original Looks exactly the same as the Park behind the Nong Prue School by the Motorway entrance. And unless properly policed will be just the same in other respects.

Popular Post tyga Posted May 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 13, 2021 Like others said, the latest generation of decision makers here, have an aversion to anything approaching natural looking, chrome, concrete and palm trees is beautiful in their eyes. Tasteless and no ecological value whatsoever. Just don't get me started on the so called improvements to the Sukhimvit Road from Jomtien to Sattahip and beyond, trees ripped out, grass removed, lily ponds filled in, trees cut down, and replaced with hot reflective concrete surfaces. The fact is that once upon a time, not so long ago, Jomtien had wonderful biodiverse habitats and was a so called 'lung' wetland which was all filled in due to greed and shortsightedness. Sad! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The natureal environment here would lend itself to rich vegeataion and beauty if they let it but everything is ripped down, paved an covered in concrete. Phuket has 200 times the beauty because they didn't rip away what the tourists came here for - lush greenery and good beaches. Even Bangkok looks like an oasis comparted to Pattaya. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
