webfact Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Rain rain go away, Pattaya is here to stay By Staff Reporter PATTAYA: -- Roads flood as storms continue over the city. City Hall has spent months ensuring that the drains of Pattaya City were clear and ready for the monsoon season and ,as a result, the majority of the city has been unaffected by the recent storms, but of course the rain has to go somewhere, and since it always flows downwards… Beach Road and the surrounding sois took it badly today. Flooding in the areas from Royal garden Plaza all the way to Soi 2 caused severe traffic holdups and, at the same time, entertainment for visitors to the city, as waterfalls developed along the sea walls, where rainwater finally his the beach. Roads and footpaths along the beach were under water, but only to the extent that it was inconvenient, and the rest of the city is holding its own against the elements. However were we to endure a severe storm in the next 24 hours, the picture could well change as drainage is reported to be working to its maximum potential to cope.

DrTuner Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 That photo is from the walkway to the Pattaya Beer Garden. Easy to recognize the diamond styled red tiling. Never did notice the drainage pipes there before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShockMaster Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Yes, this was taken from the Pattaya Beer Garden. My favourite eatery in Pattaya although it can get quite noisy when all of those pipes are spewing water. Great views though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keesters Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Further on in the Pattaya103 article Several experts tell us that rather than looking at drainage, we should look at the rapid expansion of the city as a whole, where builders have created a concrete mass without grassland for natural drainage. The result of several decades of mass building has taken away a lot of the potential for natural drainage and left the current city management with a huge challenge. Read more: http://www.pattaya103.com/rain-rain-go-away-pattaya-is-here-to-stay/#ixzz26s1WKiZ3 But it's the city management that control what the builders can or cannot concrete. So it's a self inflicted hereditary challenge caused in the main by corruption and greed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it that in your country crystal clear water flows out of the drain pipes I think he might have been wanting to add " and so close to pattaya's main beach" (Literally yards away from where people swim, jetski and play in the water) That is just gross !

DrTuner Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 That's a rainwater system, not a sewer. Pattaya has decent waste water management plants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
