Pattaya Beach Road Needs Shade Trees

[Banana7]

Attached are a few pics of Lat Krabang beach which is just north of Pattaya. It has of lots of free public benches and lots beautiful shade trees. Why can't pattaya beach have lots free public benches/seats in the shade? Why can't shade trees be planted on the beach so people can sit on the beach, free of charge, in the shade? Other beaches near Pattaya have lots of shade trees, lots of free public seating? Why do we have to pay vendors for a seat in the shade? Those beach road ugly palm trees with spikes and thorns sticking out the bottom when they are short, provide very little shade. NNG sold those trees to Pattaya because they couldn't sell them to anyone else for many years. It's practically impossible to walk down beach road pedestrian walkway 11am - 3pm because it's too hot and there is no shade.

Pattaya is one giant tourist trap.

That's the reason the city doesn't have decent public areas.

It sucks on purpose.

If you can't rest for free, you will pay to rest.

No benches, no trees, no problem.

Go to a pub, a bar or whatever and pay for your peace :)

Many years ago the Pattaya Beach trail had many large shade trees but they have since been cut down to make way for another lane on Beach Road and additional parking spaces. The Thais do not care about trees, its only about money to them, nothing else matters.

It doesn't need them as it had them before.  Similar to your photos.  They are not coming back.

A slight change to that statement, Patty locals don't seem to like tress, in fact most city likers and dwellers World wide seem to hate green stuff that grows. 

[JimTripper]

it's about funneling people into bars. 

[sherwood]

Get with the program.

You can't make money if everything is free.

Trees in my village are cut down every day to make bbq coal why, so people can earn enough money to purchase food.

You want an ideal holiday destination go look elsewhere.

Looks like Krathing Lai Beach near to the coastguard station.

Pattaya City Hall don't like trees, vile weed

[Pattaya57]

So you start a thread complaining about them ripping up some paving tiles to lay some electrical cable underneath, however now you want to rip up the entire beach walkway to plant some trees 😆 

 

Maybe you need to just not go to Pattaya Beach if you dislike it so much

[Tailwagsdog]

The world is full of whining complaining people who do nothing else. What voluntary organisations do you participate in? Is this your home? If so then get off your whining butt and get involved with some green minded Thais, do stuff, assist, participate instead of being a morning moaner ...

You might make some Thai friends, get busy, get some fulfillment,  and not have time for complaining .....

Many years ago there were lots of tress but the road was widened and the beach lengthened, trees had to go.

They won't stop until the entire country is covered in concrete.

To be fair, beaches aside, the whole country's like that

Boiling hot dump but it's cheap so...

That's why i never go to Pattaya beach. I am sure they cut down all the trees to force you to pay for the deckchairs to get any shade. I go to Jomtien beach which has a few trees left but sure they will go soon too.

[Thingamabob]

Thais appear to have become addicted to cutting down trees. Bangkok is an example of this. 40 plus years ago an American consultancy recommended filling in klongs to make way for more road space. This resulted in the trees which lined the klongs being removed. This trend is now repeated all over the country. Concrete rules, sadly.

Many of us are already involved. Check your facts.

Every soi in Bangkok needs shade trees, too.

At least Bangkok still has some nice parks and green spaces. What do we have in Pattaya a few square metres of grass at Lan Po.

The Beach side of  Pattaya Beach Rd used  to have many Concrete Benches  under Trees,      I read somewhere the reason they were both taken away was   because they installed  tall  Flood Lights,  so say,  for the safety of Tourists,   and the Tree's were in the way, the Benches were taken away to stop   the ladies of the night  sitting  there... both reasons were  a waste of time, and money , Tourists still get problems from pick pockets  there,   and the Ladies still sit

Yes this was the excuse for the destruction....But considering 3 lanes merge into 2 before walking street the 3rd lane is pretty much useless......The truth of the matter is the 3rd lane was only built so they could cut the trees as they wanted to do...

Sir wrong you are....Pattaya beach WILL be restored to look like the photos above...One day the evil doers who are responsible for Pattayas beach destruction will be gone......Maybe 10 or 20 or 50 or 100 or more years the nasty crew will be gone......And the whole disgusting beach as it is now can be ripped out and some thing beautiful will be built......

Not really......Its about funneling people into the new Neo-Pattaya / agenda 21 / a technocracy where there is no place for nature...

This is exactly what needs to happen.....The Entire walkway needs to be napalmed then bulldozed, cleared of everything except the few remaining shade trees and rebuilt again from bare dirt.....Its the only way to make things nice again..
