Beach Road has a nice view, especially at sunset. The lack of law enforcement around prostitution in Pattaya / Thailand is nothing new. It's been that way for decades. If police were even slightly serious about looking after tourism, whilst still catering for sex tourists within Thailand's tourism industry, they could easily send the message to the Coconut Bar girls they now have to go and sit on the steps at Tree Town, yet, they don't. Not sure how much tea money the Coconut Bar pays, so I guess the police just don't care. Meanwhile, as you say, Beach Road continues to attract to cheapest of sex tourists, in full view of tourists that go to Beach Road to admire the water views. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What view would attract tourists, this (just above walking st) or the sorry s*** show there now? And if the police cared about tourists they would get rid of the trash with the XY chromosomes.

The cutting of trees and addition of parking spots on Breach Road will add to the pollution and degradation of the walking path and beach. Cut down trees and although small it will increase the global warming effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickeymaus Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 It's time the existing Beach Road Highway gets more lanes and more parking space. The existing traffic lights should be removed since nobody really cares about them. The beach, which is particularly unused at night, could also be converted into additional noisy bar zones to attract even more quality tourists. And we need public toilets and dressing rooms there, which can also be used for a short-time experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't need any parking on Beach Rd. Park elsewhere and take a baht bus like most do. Makes me PO that car owners think everything is about cars- up to me I'd ban all private cars on Beach and Second.

Kevin Taylor Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Drove down beach road today. Looks like the promenade is being ripped up to make more parking. Although there is a definite lack of parking in Pattaya surely this is not the way forward. Walking the promenade was the only good thing about that beach. I can't see any good outcome from doing this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, some years ago they decided to widen Beach Rd.... under the premise of improving traffic flow...that was nonsense of course as it went back down to 2 lanes and a bottleneck at the South Rd corner anyhow. The wider road was good for markets and events too. Covid came along and no tourists, so to entice Thais, who hate not to be able to look adoringly at their vehicles, parking was permitted on the Beach side..... Covid went and tourism and tourists partially returned, the narrow road impeded traffic, especially with the parked vehicles all down both sides. So it needs widening again... don't want to scare off those domestic visitors who are not into walking nor baht buses. Although road works will deter them... this is progress, got to keep moving forwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those little pearls rather like the Red Bull heir. The widening works well before that bottleneck at the end, and notably towards getting to the mall. If the new lane is blocked, the jam (on weekends and holidays, currently) starts at Pattaya Nua. So it does now since they've begun allowing parking in that lane. As you note, it's useful during festivals and events, a major motivation. Now The Authorities have probably found out how much businesses, many of them new, in north BR love the customers they're getting from the "new" parking on BR. Customers love parking there not to admire their vehicles but obviously to avoid walking any distance or getting onto baht buses with farang riff-raff. Eventually the new new lane will be found not enough and parking banned again. So it goes. Yes, the ANF Bureau of Traffic Regulation has proposed many other solutions over the years. Heard 'em all. Even the Authorities themselves have.???? But the paradox remains that improving infrastructure attracts more population. BTS and MRT haven't ended the traffic jams in BKK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
