Report Thailand Advances Jomtien Beach Sand Replenishment Phase 2
Photo courtesy of Utapao Rayong Pattaya International Airport Guide Thailand's Marine Department is forging ahead with Phase 2 of the Jomtien Beach Sand Replenishment Project, aiming to combat coastal erosion and attract tourists. At a seminar yesterday at Jomtien Palm Beach Hotel and Resort, officials and stakeholders gathered to discuss the multimillion-baht initiative's next steps. Deputy Director-General Narinsak Sattaprasit led the meeting, joined by Chon Buri’s Deputy Governor Adirek Unosot, Pattaya Deputy Mayor Krisana Boonsawad, and Rapeepan Rattanliam of Na Jomtien subdistrict. The event brought together local council members, business operators, and both public and private representatives. This seminar was not a mere formality but a crucial step in engaging with the community, seeking their input before construction proceeds. Narinsak emphasised the project's goal of sustainable coastal development. Phase 1 successfully restored 3,575 metres of beach in Na Jomtien and South Jomtien. Phase 2 will extend the beachfront by an additional 2,840 metres, from the Chaiyapreuk Intersection to near the Dongtan Beach Police Box. The Marine Department has highlighted several benefits. The reinforced coastline will protect against natural disasters, enhance the experience for visitors, and support the area's delicate marine ecosystems. Initial delays in the project were caused by necessary upgrades to Jomtien Beach Road’s drainage and road infrastructure—essential groundwork for the incoming sand expansion. With these hurdles now addressed, the initiative is poised to progress, although a specific construction date remains unconfirmed. Local businesses and tourism operators eagerly await the project's commencement, viewing it as a lifeline for Pattaya's economy, which has been sluggish post-pandemic. One local vendor summed up the community's sentiment: “The beach is everything to Pattaya. If the beach goes, so do the tourists.” As the project moves forward, Pattaya may soon boast a larger and more appealing coastline, potentially revitalising the area as a top tourist destination. With its sights set on the future, Thailand aims to blend development with preservation, ensuring long-term prosperity for Jomtien Beach and its surrounding communities.
