Walking Street, Pattaya — Walking Street nightlife operators assembled to discuss the unfinished road repairs on their world-famous street and urged the relevant authorities to resume working and complete the work as soon as possible.

 

Narit Petcharat, president of the Pattaya Walking Street Business Association, gathered up with other operators at Pattaya King Seafood restaurant on Walking Street today, June 8th, to discuss the unfinished road repairs to prepare for the expected incoming waves of tourists as border restrictions and Covid19 rules continue to ease.

According to the president, most tourists both short and long stays had been delighted with the nightlife services on Walking Street so far, except for the unsurfaced spots on the pavements and roads and the insufficiency of street lights. The president said that these issues imposed a nuisance to customers and that he feared it might ruin Walking Street’s reputation.

It is not just walking street, for some undisclosed reason Pattaya has started several major road projects all at the same time without considering the impact on the community, the construction companies clearly do not have enough experienced personnel to complete said repairs within a reasonable time frame therefore why start additional projects that surely they know will not be completed within a planned time frame. A typical example is South Pattaya Road, where the sidewalks have still not been completed !!!

One things for sure, a family seeing the disaster of roads and paths wont ever come back again.

What a nonsense, they are just making soi 15 off Buakhao, and 2nd Rd impassable!

Exactly.  Visited a couple of friends there a few days ago and the numbers of pavements that could actually be walked on was extremely low, shocking really, actually seemed worse than when I remember it from 4 years ago.

Surely the allocated money hasn’t disappeared.
