redwood1 Posted September 15, 2023 Author Share Posted September 15, 2023 Is it really relaxing to spend some time on the beach at night if the beach is lit up as it was daylight? Same goes for the beach walkway...... They seem to have zero money for seatting, flowers,trees or art.... But they seem to have unlimited money for, lighting, 5G , CCTV cameras, elecronic signs...ect.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be great to have some public seats around. I hate having to pay for every little thing or go into a bar to sit down. That’s one thing I never liked about Thailand. There’s no place to sit and relax like other countries without having to buy something. Need some public areas with benches, some parks with water fountains, places like that. Many other countries have seating all along the shoreline. Puerto Vallarta in Mexico is a good example. It’s not cost. A good metal or concrete bench with arms and a backrest can last for years. If “they” want to turn the city into a friendly destination seating is needed. Edited September 15, 2023 by JimTripper 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it, if there weren't so many assaults, thefts and fights in the darkened recesses of Beach Rd, there wouldn't be any need for the floodlights. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bangkok Barry Posted September 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2023 I think it's an improvement. As for the those who don't like it, don't worry.

bbko Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Given the average age of the late night beach road tourist (70) and the likelihood of them having poor eyesight/cataracts, the number of men in drag, the number of pickpocket stories, the number of crimes, the number of tree rats, bright lights are a good deterrent. Some people can find the negative in the littlest things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some elderly men seem to hang around opposite Mike shopping mall and other seating areas with the ladies of the night \ homeless, they probably don't like being under a spotlight 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would just love living in Singapore...Clean, tidy ,orderly....Life has been sterilized out of that place....No atmnoshere.....Just a bland sea of conformity and orderlyness.... Blasting floodlights on the beach will kill what little attactivness the beach has left after the last 10 years of awful destruction the beach has endured....
