Popular Post brianthainess Posted December 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2023 More light pollution, how romantic could fit low level ones 1 meter high to flood just the beach, not the whole of Chon Buri. Twinkle Twinkle little star, I wonder where the hell you are. I wonder how the surrounding fauna and flora will suffer. Don't trees need darkness? Global warming piff TIT. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe forgot a digit? I agree 100%.... Take a good look at these lights sometime they are made out of VERY VERY heavy duty steel or some other steel like alloy...And the lights are also BIG TIME heavy duty.... I would guess that the total cost for EACH ONE of these could very well cost 2.1 million........So I think closer to 21 million for 10...Plus 50% for you know who.....So lets just call it 30 million...

Popular Post Barnet1900 Posted December 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2023 Didn't some foreign reporter have an accident on the pavement or trip over something in Jomtien recently? Sounds very Thai. How to fix the pavements so people don't keep tripping up or falling down manholes? Improve the walking spaces? Nahhh Build great, big eyesores to show them where the holes are! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesetat Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Come on guys, they are doing this to please the visitors. Who cares about the people living there every day. I can just picture all the letters coming to them from tourist suggesting these lights so they can see all the crappy boats parked on the sea there and all the extra light to block even the brightest star.. Noone wants to see those things.. Now they will be able to see and catch those tourists that think they can sex in the darkness on the beach or in the sea at night also. Doubtful it will hinder all those old scraggly women vying for customers all night long on the walkway though. I feel bad for them because with all that extra lighting you will actually be able to see how old and scraggly they really are and will most likely make them lose a lot of customers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
