Pattaya — Pattaya City has successfully completed its endeavor to enhance the landscape of the world-famous Pattaya Walking Street by removing all traffic-obstructive overhead signs.

The low-hanging signs had been a problem on Walking Street for a long time, said Pattaya City officials, as they not only displeased tourists visually but also posed obstacles for fire trucks and emergency vehicles.

 

In response to this challenge, the city had been diligently working over the past few months to address and rectify the situation.

Other than removing blocking billboards from the street, the city also requested business operators to make their signage align parallel to the buildings, starting from the entrance of Walking Street and extending to the Bali Hai Pier.

Including the 101 illegal ones over the sea!

The fire truck issue had already been solved a few years ago when the low hanging signs were raised.....

 

Tourist did not like the signs?......A huge BS to that.....Tourist loved the signs for photos......

 

Everyone loved the signs except for the people who wanted to dull-ify and bore-ify and sterilize Walking Street..

Are there plans to put the overhead wires underground?

Now it LOOKS like a back alley in a fishing village!!!

Not sure which is the news here....... that they removed the signs, or that they actually finished something?

Next they'll want to be cleaning out the STD's from every crook and cranny.

As I pulled up on beach road (the footpath) to take the photo, a bar girl adjacent yelled out, pointing to my fruit I recently purchased from a pickup truck soi Buakhou.

I bought 3kg guava (falang) for 60 baht, I took out a few and gave to the girls.

 

Omg, I've never seen the girls so happy, <deleted> I love Thailand, the smallest things make these people so happy. 😁

 

Back in Australia I reckon the miserable cows would throw the fruit back at me. 😂
