sucher Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 At the end of Pattaya Second Road left side before the Circle opposite Terminal 21 had a new Construction Fence gone up. Prime Location. Good Size Area. Anyone in the Know what's going there ? Just a little bit up the Soi Naklua are 2 new 5 Star Hotels being built . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sungod Posted September 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2021 No idea mate, but when I read your title i had hope that the new development about the Dolphin Roundabout is that you saw someone knowing how to use it properly. 6 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the properties closed on the LHS of Soi 33 and those round the corner on the main road are due to be demolished to apparently make way for required landscaping and parking for Akara.

jacko45k Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Another opportunity to create traffic issues at a very busy junction.... I guess having finished restricting the 3rd Rd/Klang junction by building a high-rise it is time to move onto another! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newnative Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 My partner and I noticed this construction fence has gone up, as well. Seems to be a quite large piece of property with an old low-rise hotel and some shops on it. Definitely a prime location and it will be interesting to see what is built on it. This part of Pattaya, already one of the most desirable areas of the city with Dusit, Holiday Inn, Amari, Northshore and others, really jumped up a few notches more when T21 and Grand Centre Point 1 arrived. Grand Centre Point 2 and Akara will only add to that, as did Mytt Hotel and the new Amari Suites. As I've said before, it's interesting to note that all this new, nice development is about as far from Walking Street as you can get and still be on or near Pattaya Beach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaoboi Bebobp Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 And we thought Pattaya was overrun with traffic before the pandemic. Returning to live there is fading more and more into the distance. It's looking like general costs are going to go up as the fancy residences draw more people with money and flood the area with maybe even fancier restaurants and the often rumoured casinos. I mean, something big must be coming with building corporations betting billions of baht on such hotel and condo monstrosities. I am aware of a Thai hotel resort company that has plans and the land there. It's getting harder to think that these companies are building a future ghost town. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL. That's basically what happened when they built Promenada shopping mall in Chiang Mai. Must have cost a very large pile of money to erect, and virtually empty of shoppers apart from the supermarket. Having the immigration there probably doubled the visitor numbers, IMO.

It's top appease the Baht Bus Mafia, all new developments have to be farthest away from Walking Street so everyone has to use a Baht Bus to get there and back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When was the last HS? If memory serves me right it was about 8 years ago. There is so much BS spoken about travelling seasons in tourism. They disappeared from view years ago, when long haul holidays become more affordable for Westerners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
