bkk6060 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 It is a major delaying traffic jam especially near Pattaya Nua. Avoid it if possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an occasional visitor I can confirm. Can't remember last time when Sukhumvit through Pattaya was free of construction. Does this affect coming from M7 exit to Pattaya Klang?

Guderian Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I occasionally drive up to Laem Chabang to see the GF, and I've given up using Suk for the trip, too slow due to all the roadworks. Instead I just take the 7 and join Suk in Laem Chabang. A lot further, and a 20 Baht toll, but who cares? It's much better than sitting in a traffic jam for half an hour in Pattaya. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay away everyone.🤣 Actually Sukhumvit from Tepprasit to Chaiyapruek only has two bottlenecks on the going South side and none on the going North side, and all the u turn intersections are now clear, so I disagree with the above post about the Makro area. And all the way to Sattahip is very good now (with just one or two flyovers to finish). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickcage49 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 When will it ever end. This seems to be getting worse as opposed to better. I've never seen a place that does so much construction all at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banana7 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I hope they proceed with 24 hours a day 7 days a week construction. That area always has heavy traffic. There seem to be no residential buildings on that section of the road. Lots of times, there is nobody, or only 2 or 3 people, on the job in many of Pattaya's public road construction job sites. Sometimes there is no progress for weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rexpotter Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Would be nice if they would at work at night, and then open it during the day, and the manager would not park his huge pickup truck in the road, so we also have to go around that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is all this money coming from to pay for this endless orgy of construction projects that drag on and on and on and on? And after a project is finished its time to dig the road up and do it again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
