doggie888888 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 "sustainable tourism" and "Pattaya" are opposite ends of the tourism spectrum. And no amount of spin or jingoism will change that perception until real actions that yield measurable outcomes are implemented, without fear or favor. Don't forget pattaya is where mature trees that provide shade are massacred to make things "tidy". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joepattaya1961 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 A traffic masterplan...........isn't a tunnel a part of it? I thought that construction of that tunnel would have started by now. THB 15 million for a plan that will never work as long as our men-in-brown can't stay away from the traffic-light-control-panels. Yesterday.....parked at Central World on the 6th floor of the parking-building. Left at 3 p.m. and arrived at the pay-booth on Ground level (parking is free) at 5.30 p.m. and then it took me another hour to reach Sukhumvit 73 which is approx. 2.5 km away. Solve traffic problems......get rid of the traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
