webfact Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 By Adam Judd Jomtien-The kids playground located across from the Jomtien Night Market has been shut with a large notice from law enforcement in Thai stating that the park is waiting for future repairs. Regular complaints about the condition of the playground, which has an Angry Birds theme, have come in since during the Covid pandemic shutdowns but the park appears to have been getting worse versus improve, especially the ground condition.

Popular Post Jen65 Posted October 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2022 I would sometimes enter this playground to use the exercise equipment therein . It would be better if the Childrens Play Area was completely separate from the adult exercise area . The current "Play/Exercise" area is subject to misuse with people sleeping rough on the benches , stray dogs doing a poo inside ( where children are supposed to play !!) . No policing / control / inspection so the deterioration has lead to the current situation . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailand49 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Not the government priority! The only reason there is one to try to show they care with the amount of foreigners there but outside of Jomtien this one and they can't even up keep the one. Plenty of money to put in drains over and over again or to widen beach road over and over to enrich themselves when it comes to their future and their own?

Deserted Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 They need fix that up pronto. The night market and playground is a huge draw for tourists and one of the best places in town. When I went there in the summer, I noticed it had quite a few problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen65 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 As of today, the entrance gate to the playground is still SHUT . It seems many children and some adults are simply climbing over to gain access . Another case of no policing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
