webfact Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Pattaya — The Marine Department is requesting a budget of 285 million baht to facilitate its ambitious plan to renew the Na Baan Pier on Koh Larn to increase safety and boost Pattaya’s tourism. The major upgrade project for Koh Larn’s pier will be funded over three years and is expected to be fully completed by 2026, according to Mr. Kritphet Chaichuay, Inspector General of the Ministry of Transport and Acting Director-General of the Marine Department. With a total budget of 285 million baht pulled from three fiscal years: 57 million baht in 2024, 114 million baht in 2025, and 114 million baht in 2026, the scheme is expected to be able to support the growing number of Koh Larn visitors, hopefully from 6,000-7,000 visitors currently on weekdays and 8,000-10,000 on weekends to 30,000 per day in the future. According to Mr. Kritphet, Koh Larn is a crucial tourist destination in Pattaya as it attracts around 5-6 million visitors annually.

sikishrory Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Koh larns rubbish gets put in a big stinky pile in the middle of the island. You'd think they might invest in some basic infrastructure or waste management before this overpriced pier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the proposed one way system for Bua khao, is there some pending construction mayhem too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they'll need to put up a one way arrow every ten metres pointing in the right direction. (These will be ignored by 91.4% of Thai drivers.)

redwood1 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 (edited) The extra fat and lard on ALL construction around here is massive..... Look who is doing MOST of the work....Cambodians and Burmese working very cheaply I am sure.... Huge paydays for a select few..... Also Half-azz shoddy workmanship= Job security...
