The first topic of discussion centred on the new rail link from the Suvanabumi Airport in Bangkok to Pattaya which is currently under construction although final plans for the entire route are yet to be confirmed. The benefits to local businesses and the tourism industry of Pattaya were discussed. Secondly, the Mayor confirmed that construction of the new underpass at the Central Pattaya intersection with the Sukhumvit Road will begin in October following final approval from the Ministry of Transport.

Although traffic disruption will be common in the area during construction the Mayor was quick to point out the long term benefits to motorists who will now be able to avoid this busy junction if they choose to.

Interesting. No mention of a taxi meter system. How surprising.

What about the numbered bus routes in Jomtien?

I wonder if they talked about what they will do when the tunnel floods. You know it's going to happen.

Many may choose to avoid the busy Central Pattaya intersection by not visiting Pattaya by car for some time when the word is out about the road works. Not sure who wins in this scenario.
