Old Croc Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) Over the weekend a front end loader has been denuding a large tract of jungle on a steep bit of hillside above the RIB factory in Chalong. Does anybody know what is planned for this potential land slip area? The work on an access road continues as I write: The hill is a lot steeper than it appears in the photos.

hkt83100 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 The usual illegal logging and construction. No reason to get exited. Please walk on, nothing to see here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyByNights Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Seeing this really pisses me off. Isn't there already enough damage being done to the Island. Then especially on a hillside! Pretty soon this place will begin to look like Tenerife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenBravo Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Give it a couple of rainy seasons and you won't even notice it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Croc Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) Give it a couple of rainy seasons and you won't even notice it. Unless it's covered in Balinese style villas. The area eventually cleared of vegetation is quite large: It doesn't look it, but there's more than 30 metres difference in height from the top of the block to the bottom.

keestha Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Glad I don't live in one of the houses at the bottom (landslide risk). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Croc Posted December 25, 2011 Author Share Posted December 25, 2011 Fairly sure it's not reverting to jungle again. Looks like it's going to be a housing development or resort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
