On Monday afternoon 3rd March at Pattaya City Hall, Khun Itipon, the Mayor of Pattaya chaired a meeting which discussed proposals to extend the width of Pattaya Beach Road. An 18 mtr (54ft) extension to the width of the road has been proposed which will allow for up to two more lanes of traffic and may allow the road to become a two way four lane road in the future. "

THE END OF PATTAYA BEACH!!!

Be very interested to see how they are going to acheive that, cant even make up their minds if 2nd road should be one way, two way, this way or that!!!

Great, does that mean there will be a kerb crawling lane? Got to give the guys at City Hall some credit here chaps.

I wonder if it will be done before or after they tear down the "walking street 101"??

And, considering the state of Pattaya Beach, and the nature of many of it's "prowlers", would you consider this a loss?

What Beach!!

i only require 2 things.... a bike lane and 1 meter of sidewalk.

It's taken ages to get the beach walkway as a tourist walkway ,are they now going to dig it up ,to extend the road

Sheer inconceivable madness !

Are they getting financed by the Filipino & Bali Tourist Boards !

"I only require 2 things.... a bike lane and 1 meter of sidewalk."

And you really think you will get this??? Dont be silly, if after all the beach walk changes in the past did not get you the above, then you have no chance!!

The freelancers will be so far out on the beach you will need a boat to pick them up!! .

take it easy with the question marks there girlfriend, it was just a comment on the internet, not a request and certainly not an expectation.

I agree with you, now I think the authorities should consider building a footbridge outside the new Central Shopping Plaza.It was bad enough crossing the road, now it's an absolute nightmare with the increased traffic.

A lot of Thai boys seem to have the same problem!

Who said anything about building on the beach side?

They can just tear down all the beer bars that are on the opposite side and easily create enough space for a superhighway.

I seem to remember this idea being touted a couple of years ago, at that time also included was a road around the outside (seaside) of walking street, is this a ressurection of the same plans or what??

Why the bother to even discuss this? It ain't like back home is it? So why even give a thought to the next idea the city comes up with. Relax blokes.

Real BS this idea!

Don't they have more important things to think of?

They've already finished with the important thinking, making Second Road 2 way from Klang to North, now they have to justify their salary by comin up with more bright ideas.

Could be worse, they could have proposed an elevated highway directly above the existing road. Kind of like Hong Kong.

Here's Pattaya Beach 15 years from now:
