Dusit curve beach restoration slated for completion in 2 months

PATTAYA:--Work to offset the erosion of the northern end of Pattaya Beach should be completed in two months, by April this year, although restoration of the rest of the beachfront must wait until at least October.

newsjsPattaya Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome said Jan. 25 that the project to refill sand on 193 meters of beachfront at the Dusit curve has resumed after officials found a new source of sand in Rayong, from a different river, to replace the previous supply cut off by Rayong officials from the Rayong River in September.

The beach refill is the first part of a 500 million baht proposal to reverse severe erosion of Pattaya Beach, which was predicted to wipe out the beachfront in five years if nothing was done.

Lets move the problem from Pattaya to Rayong!

Meanwhile, they have not put any soil around the exposed root systems of the waterfront trees.

Which is the result of the problem being moved South . Like that small park area in front of Holiday Inn.

The concrete platform is undermined and breaking up. Any obsticle like the first part of the sandbagging to the North slows the prevailing North to South tidal current .

Since the load of suspended sand a current transports is proportional to velocity When it is slowed by a point or any structure, like the sandbags it drops a fraction of sand.

When the water starts moving again, past the obsticle . it picks up sand.So now there is negative beach just South.

So unless they breakwater the entire beach its going to be a problem South .
