For many the money isn't the real consideration. It's the variety, freedom, and no grief aspects mentioned in the OP that draws many into that ST lifestyle exclusively. Also, there will be times a GF may not be in the mood, or the painters might be in town, all potential cockblock events. But with ST that's never a problem.
Jomtien Beach Road pathways used to be those interlocking pavers. They did a good job. Then the "improvement" project that cut so many trees down took all the pavers, benches etc out. New pathway was finger thick concrete... ramp supposedly for wheelchairs did not survive the first hard rain, so was plowed under. Joking if you say those paths are stable: immediate falling apart/subsiding near the stairs/"fish ladders"
Pavers are better because they are at least thick besides looking better
