Replacement Of Flowers Along Beach Road

Replacement of flowers along beach road

Gardeners from Nong Nooch were busy this morning replacing and replanting dead and dying flowers along Pattaya Beach. About one-half of all the flowers will be replaced by the week-end. Traffic along Beach Road was slightly congested and drivers are encouraged to find alternate routes.

Monday morning a team of forensic monks from Wat Dhammakaya reported their findings to the City. After arriving last week to study the problem they determined the main cause of the die-off to be a disorderly arrangement and recommended the flowers be re-arranged. The City is scrambling to complete the project before the end of Kathina as specified by the monks.

Disorderly beach chair operations were also cited in the report. Accordingly, police were out to warn beach chair operators to be more careful in the arrangement of their chairs, and also that they must replace old or mismatched umbrellas, or be subject to fines.

Other, minor causes cited in the report were too much or too little shade, too much or too little water including the failure of the irrigation system, and the use of an inappropriate fertilizer.

Citizens will be happy to hear that the City was able to negotiate a discount on the labor portion of the contract. Additional costs are expected to be recouped by heightened enforcement of motorcycle helmet violations leading up to the Loy Krathong festival.

Well I suppose forensic findings can be rather strange, but who would have thought that deck chairs could be blamed

Additional costs are expected to be recouped by heightened enforcement of motorcycle helmet violations leading up to the Loy Krathong festival.

At least the Thai's are open about this method of funding. The Police in the UK, still, to this day, deny that things such as "Speed Camera" fines etc are a way of gaining extra income from the public.
