Mayor pushes for stop-gap beach refill as Pattaya awaits government approval of permanent erosion fix

PATTAYA: -- Pattaya wants to place 9,800 sq. meters of sand and 3,200 sandbags on North Pattaya Beach in a stop-gap move against ongoing erosion as it awaits government approval on a more-permanent solution.

Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome said Aug. 20 that the Pattaya City Council has before it a 15.7 million baht budget request to refill a 195-by-29-meter stretch of beachfront near the Dusit curve with sand to offset the serious erosion the northernmost stretch of Pattaya Beach has experienced.

Who in their right minds would give these jokers money from central funds when they have proved they are utterly incompetent in managing construction projects. Such as Thappraya Road.

You reap what you scam -sorry, sow.

That pretty much nailed it.

I wonder if the beach mafia has approved any plan to restore and protect the beach?
