Pattaya is looking to allocate 30 million baht for the repair and upgrade of the popular Bali Hai Pier. Pattaya Mayor Poramet Ngampichet announced on May 3 that the Bali Hai bridge, which connects the pier to the mainland, was deteriorating and required repair work to its foundations. The last significant maintenance performed on the bridge was back in 2015, although it had been resurfaced in 2017.

 

The mayor also recommended constructing a roof over the bridge area to shelter tourists from the sun and rain during their visits. At present, Pattaya has around 20 million baht available and designated for Bali Hai maintenance purposes, Pattaya Mail reported.

 

However, the estimated cost for the necessary repairs and upgrades amounts to 30 million baht. Poramet stated that the city council would be requested to allocate additional funds to cover the difference in costs.

How many times are they going to "allocate" before the actual work gets done?

Why, you can't get to it or park?

Good idea putting a walkway roof on the pier, I hope they do it as it will be a significant benefit to everyone using the pier.

So they are seeking another 10 million to cover the shortfall?  All estimates should include a figure for cream off/award of contracts.
