siftasam Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Not even Leonardo could have thought this one up. Heath Robinson might have, though. http://socks-studio.com/img/blog/William_Heath_Robinson_Inventions_.jpg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mran66 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) April 1st now? ? .. Thai officials seriously proposed ideas beat vast majority of global April 1st jokes in their entertainment value. Quite an achievement per se.

I heard metro was rejected as too straightforward. This is still secret so keep to yourself: The soon to be released new proposal to complement the cable car system is thai-designed subterranean network of submarines. Routes same as current baht us routes. Flooding proof system they concluded in the committee. Still pending the germans confirming the engines though.

animatic Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 So a new 100 meter high club BJ in the air and hard to witness. If the cable cars rocking don’t bother knocking! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renaissanc Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Oh dear! This won't reduce traffic at all. I don't think I need to explain why not. This must be about commission and a new Mercedes Benz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In Full Agreement Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 5 hours ago, Gold Star said: What a stupid idea. People come to walk along the seaside and along the beach, stopping along the way, not be crammed into a hot metal box from end to end. It seems they want to address foot traffic, unless you can hang your vehicle below the cablecar. Why not just send a drone, and people could just watch the beach online from their own country? A street car system would be a good idea I think but it'd take 200 years to complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newnative Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 As most have said, terrible idea. Basically, a small, cheap band-aid proposed for a large, gaping gunshot wound. Does nothing to improve the traffic bottlenecks at many of the major intersections, such as Sukumvit-North Pattaya Road. The two remaining not constructed underpasses of the three originally proposed for Sukumvit need to be done--they should be priority 1, starting with the one under Sukumvit-North Pattaya. Old, decrepit, City Hall needs to be bulldozed and a large parking garage constructed there, with the main station for a surface trolley car system. City Hall does not need to be in that prime location. Park your car there and hop on the trolley if you are going to the beach or other areas in central Pattaya. Parking needs to be eliminated entirely on Beach Road and Second Road, freeing up space for the trolley to run, and to add traffic lanes and tour bus drop-off lanes. Other parking garages in other areas, also linked to the trolley, need to be constructed, as well. Where the trolley runs, street parking needs to be eliminated. With its huge and continuing growth, the city needs to be thinking long-range, years into the future rather than coming up with these pitiful, little, short-term, unworkable ideas that are doomed to fail and do nothing to address the severe traffic problems Pattaya is already experiencing--and, with Thailand only at around one-fourth of 2019's international tourist numbers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizzy Duang Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 They should just start with a decent sidewalk system instead of installing those plastic light bubbles on the street over which old people may stumble right into a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt thought goes much further than thinking up the next brown envelope project. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grusa Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Is it my imagination, but are the pylons and the buildings in the picture leaning, and by different amounts? Stupid idea, and bound to be poorly executed at outrageous cost, achieving nothing useful except envelopes, of course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aseanfan Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 How about closing the beach road to all traffic except for baht buses, and run those in both directions. The icing on the cake would be to also install a canal, and run baht boats for when the beach road floods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dart12 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Inventive suggestion, but it doesn't solve anything unless there are multiple stops along the way. No one wants to go from Walking street to just Na Klua. This also would create parking jams at these I'd guess as you have to get to it's launch point with a vehicle as well. It's interesting if you could get off every 1000 meters or so but I don't think that's how it can be made to operate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldBird Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 When I first read about this I thought, wow that might be charming and cool to have a cable car system similar to San Francisco. But then i saw the picture of a suspension wire car system and thought to myself. These people have no idea what they are getting themselves into. Disney land in Anaheim California has/had a suspension car system and of all the rides and attractions it required the highest amount of maintenance. They are asking for a nightmare. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
