The "furniture" wasn't on their property, it was in the public space. It's pointless making pavements in Pattaya as they just get occupied by the businesses behind them and one still has to walk in the traffic. 2 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly have a point... not much of a thoroughfare at most times of day. Soi 6 is a survivor though... still there despite the encroachment of a more base Pattaya from the North.

I have never been sure whether they own the bit of pavement in front between their wall and the road.... they certainly act as if they do and pedestrians have no where to be. Soi 6 wants the foot traffic very much, but hardly accommodates it. Edited January 25, 2023 by jacko45k 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickeymaus Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 It is not a good sign if "visitors" have to complain so that the law is enforced. But Soi 6 seems to be a very special zone anyway. Why? Okay - next question... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickeymaus Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Does anyone know how this is with the area directly in front of the buildings - is this public space and pavement or does this belong to the building? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1happykamper Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 So the cars parked next to all the construction ditches... Are not a problem? 555. Double parked cars next to all markets.. That's OK too. A sign next to the curb... Very very bad 5555. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcmj Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 No. The owners do not own or have any rights to the sidewalk or road in front of their shops, however as we all know this still never stops them from blocking them If I see a chair or anything on the pavement trying to block parking I just move it away. A bit more difficult to clear the sidewalks with the signs, motorbikes and food carts. I don’t understand why the police don’t enforce this. Seems like an easy way to make a bit of side cash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andycoops Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I doubt a single tourist complained at all. How would a tourist know what was allowed and what wasn't. Simply an excuse for a clean up, as a earlier poster suggested it will all return sooner rather than later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burma Bill Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 5 hours ago, stoner said: what jet ski scam ? ???? For reference:- The Thai jet ski scam is actually quite a simple one. A foreigner rents a jet ski in Pattaya or Phuket for an hour or two and goes off to have fun. When he returns the jet ski, the owner tells him it now has damage on it that it didn’t have before he rented it, and will often even produce photographs to prove it.............the photographs have been photoshopped while the poor unsuspecting tourist is off having fun on his jet ski but now the Thai owner wants 40,000 baht ($1,300) to pay for the cost of the damage.........this is often done in an intimidating manner and with a group of Thai men hanging around looking threatening................ simply pay up just to avoid being harassed or threatened........................ https://tastythailand.com/do-not-rent-jet-skis-in-thailand-its-famous-for-jet-ski-scams/#:~:text=The Thai jet ski scam,produce photographs to prove it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Indian restaurant at the top of soi 6 objected to me parking there (whilst I was doing research for my new book). Likewise I had an altercation with a vet opposite Tops on Kao Noi; there are videos of him on Youtube. I've had a piece of wood with a protruding nail placed under my wheel for parking on 2nd road.
