scubascuba3 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 We know that Thais don't seem to protect trees, anyway a load of trees have been cut down, mostly thinned out so I don't see how they can build a shopping mall here as previously reported. Anyone know more? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last weekend I stood on the steps of BigC-X looking at a pickup heading out of town, well overloaded with cut up trunks and branches and I thought 'another tree gone' From there perhaps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess at 100+, this is part of the Pratumnak forest probably the only park tree area in Pattaya area Edited November 27, 2021 by scubascuba3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One hundred (approximately) straggly trees doth not maketh a forest (or even a jungle), it maketh firewood in the wild. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wait..... (insert user estimated number between 15 and 1,000+) straggly trees doth not maketh a forest (or even a jungle), it maketh firewood in the wild. The irony is that you're debating the quantity as opposed to the philosophical argument that trees may, or may not in fact be firewood in the wild. And now that I've extracted the appropriate amount of urine I will exit stage left. Apologies to Snagglepuss. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Guderian Posted November 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2021 They did it a few years ago to a plot of land almost next door to the village where I live in South Pattaya. Previously it had been forested with some very tall, attractive wispy trees that moved with the slightest breeze and were a delight to look at waving and dancing around. Then came the axeman and he felled the lot, leaving scrub that soon grew into a small jungle but minus any nice trees. I guess the owner must have thought he was going to sell the plot and so cleared it, but that then fell through and we lost about the only decent patch of tall trees left around here for nothing. Very sad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sad. Yes sounds sad, look what happened to Pattaya beach, they tried desperately to cut down the beach trees until some influential Thais managed to stop it, it doesn't look good for the future of trees here Edited November 27, 2021 by scubascuba3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarrySR Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) The government began taxing vacant land (except farm land) a year ago so lots of habitat is being ripped out and a few banana trees get planted. I suspect that is what’s happening here. Edited November 27, 2021 by LarrySR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Nothing Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Everyday for a month I hear and see the bulldozer leveling the land and removing trees as your photographs show. It went from beautiful to ugly very quickly. So I spoke to the longtime Thai couple who sells motor scooter gasoline out of whiskey bottles who just moved their hootch off the land being cleared and she said a new restaurant area is coming. I asked if the food was delicious and she got a big smile and said "Aroi". I interpreted it to mean a Thai style night market filled with little thai restaurants is coming. As Cosy Beach has developed over the years she has been right on the money most times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
