morrobay Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 37 minutes ago, StandardIssue said: probably the 5th time they have replaced drain pipes on Jomtien beach road. Was walking Dong Tan beach the other day. Clearly the so called "upgrade" done several years ago had little to no effect and actually magnified the problem in sections where the water now gathers to a clear channel and streams focused directly in two places completely washing away the 50 foot sections of beach! Who's Hi-so nephew who cheated on his engineering exams got the contract ?? Engineers? They would be lucky to get their shoes tied every morning. This endless retro construction is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of. All over Pattaya too. And soon as this bogus Jomtien project clogs up the pipes with muck ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pomchop Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 (edited) seems that a lot of the trees at jomtien are pretty far out on the beach away from the road whereas in pattaya they were much closer to the road and got wacked...to me part of what makes jomtien beach attractive is all the nice shade out on the beach from the various big shade trees...i don't ever recall big shade trees in pattaya being so close to the water and away from the road as in jomtien.......but of course i don't expect the powers that be in jomtien to care one bit what me or all the people who seeem to enjoy the shade and big old trees create a very pleasant environment...much better than having to sit in the crowded umbrella covered beach chair vendors where you are packed in like sardines....

This the plan. "These people" are just running rough shod on what was a quaint seaside town. Massive drain pipes left over from the Colorado River aquaduct, concrete and palms, parking lot, contract/kickbacks sh*tshow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very pleasant to drive through. It was an early casualty of the property boom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
