Popular Post kickstart Posted August 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2021 That tree was a Burmese Rose Wood ,probably 70-80 years old ,from the days when Pattaya was just a sleepy fishing village . The Jao Sua will be even richer now he more than likely sold that tree, the wood is highly sort for making furniture ,if you see these furniture stalls selling big tables and what Thai's call sofa's ,big long seats with high backs ,they will be probably made from this wood . What a waste of a nice tree. 7 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a waste of a nice tree. From wood-database.com: Burmese Rosewood is one of the lesser-known rosewoods, though it’s a well-known tonewood within its natural range. The wood is used for the bars of the ranad ek, a traditional Thai xylophone. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Bones Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Thankfully I live off Soi Khaotalo East Pattaya, away from the rainwater channels. Everything already concreted over so no more damage can be done. Total schemozzzle in the sake of money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemoonpattaya Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 So it will be no big trees to shade under = Less tourist's No big tree root system to retain the sand = More of the beach to migrate to the sea No big trees for the rats to live in = will be looking for new accommodations 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Star Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 9 hours ago, jacko45k said: That isn't raw sewage, but rainwater from the storm drains... as we keep being told. Of course it is, rainwater mixed with sewage. This is the main pumping station, used to pump the water uphill through a very long undersized small pipe built many years ago that goes to the treatment plant. When it rains, it is similar to stuffing an elephant through a keyhole. As building and residential pipes and septic tanks get flooded with rainwater, they overflow, and it all goes into the street runoff. It then flows downhill, and the massive volume is far too great for the system to handle. The excess water and sewage the pumps can't handle has nowhere else to go than overflow onto the beach. On the north end of Pattaya beach, they have placed another large outlet pipe a hundred meters or so under the sand and underwater into the sea so nobody can see or the putrid sewage overflow runoff pass by them on their beach chairs. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RobU Posted August 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2021 I think Thailand has the mentality of the UK in the 60's i.e.if it's old get rid of it. whether it is beautiful or not. I sold a house in the uk with a 60 year 30ft old conker tree in the back garden those trees do not mature until they are at least 80 years old. I went back to collect some post and found that the new occupants had cut it down. They couldn't give any explanation other than, 'it was old'. The established trees should have been incorporated into the new landscaping plan, giving it a head start to the maturity that the plan will show and saving money by not needing to buy mature trees from an arboretum. the landscapers are very amateurish and waste money 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post supersomchai Posted August 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2021 It seems the mayor of pattaya hasn’t a clue what the locals or tourists really want of their seafront. Did he ever ask them…..does he care ……from 25 years of looking at pattaya i would say ,it seems the locals and tourists flock to the shade of the trees ….guess he never noticed this ☹️☹️☹️ 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a degreed horticulturist and amateur gardener for over 40 years, I cringe at seeing many Thai gardens and landscaping. They don't seem to work with nature and assist it, they seem to like to hack it up and make tacky displays. The English and French and others certainly had some flashy gardens, but I like the understated ones that change with the seasons. And, of course, Japanese gardens. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For many many years there used to be a flow of raw sewage over the beach into the sea on the North end of Pattaya Beach, that you had to jump over... I guess it went into a pipe....second Rd had an open channel stinking in the heat... but that pumping station and the stench has been there many many embarrassing years. Along with the work going on there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree. From a landscaping perspective, the old natural beach trees were ugly. There's plenty of natural coastline in Thailand for ecotourists. People don't come to Pattaya to see natural landscapes. If the new palm fringed walkway looks half as good as it does in the photo, it's a huge improvement. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All vegetation in Thailand probably grows at 10x the speed of your English gardens, so hacking it away from time to time doesn't hurt that much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
