Where do people go now if they buy seafood and it's cooked on BBQ there? back to the beach maybe? Why would there be a need for seating? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first destroyed park was the park at Bali-Hi... That park was turned into a parking garage.....There were no low-lifes, ladyboys, or working girls hanging out there... Lam pho seafood market had no low-lifes, ladyboys, or working girls hanging out there... Jomtien Beach had few to very few low-lifes, ladyboys, or working girls hanging out there... That streach of road between Jomtien Beach and Pratumnak hill had very few to no low-lifes, ladyboys, or working girls hanging out there... All these places got whacked with almost no low-lifes, ladyboys, or working girls hanging out there... Only Pattaya beach had low-lifes, ladyboys, or working girls hanging out there in big numbers.......And they are still there, just fewer in numbers than before.... So after $$$$$$$$$ has been spent whacking all these places the only thing that has been accomplished is the contractors got rich and all the people were left with awful sterile beach fronts and awful parks... They killed the charm and traded it in for lots and lots of concrete and palm trees.... "the people" - what people would that be? At the end of the day it doesn't really matter what view you want to take, it is a case of live with it or look elswhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwood1 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 If you guys ever wondered why they love to turn parks into blue concrete...Well here is your answer..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubascuba3 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 someone posted on facebook that Thai media are reporting that adding chairs and areas to relax are to be added now, hence why not open, it did look that way when i checked it out earlier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wongkitlo Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I was surprised how few people were using it. Lots of empty spaces. Monday night on long weekend. Traffic chaos in Naklua Rd. The policeman even tried to hurry me along as I paid for my songtaew. The park and market seemed not so busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Screaming Posted July 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2023 Interesting post as I just went to the fish market today. The new parking garage is very tight. I had trouble getting my full sized sedan in a parking slot. But the traffic heading into the market has subsided due to the new lot. Although I like the new lot convenience, I would give up that convenience for the park. Thailand just does not have enough open spaces with trees and plants. It is a crime what they did to the Beach Road waking trail. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwood1 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 (edited) Can we get some pictures of the so-called new park area there? I have only seen pictures of the blue concrete area... Edited July 31, 2023 by redwood1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wongkitlo Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 The parking garage and the park were dead again today though was around 4pm and maybe people were doing school pick ups. Alot of cars still seemed to be going to the back carpark. I guess Thais dont like change much. Several guards were sitting around looking at their phones. I also noticed they have put in a card system for payments. Wonder if that will increase patronage. Nice view from the rooftop but it is not a rooftop garden as promised and just more car park spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it does not matter if a single person ever uses the parking garage.....They could care less... The parking garages main mission has already been accomplished......... No problem if the $$$$ parking garage sits there mostly un-used... Edited August 4, 2023 by redwood1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
