Pattaya Beach refill project set to begin early next year

PATTAYA:--The long-delayed rebuilding of Pattaya Beach is expected to begin early next year after the Marine Department approved a 430 million baht budget for the 18-month project.

The city already has spent 13 million baht on planning, and 60 million baht for the first phase of upgrading drainage.

Marine Department Region 6 Director Raewat Potriang said Marine Construction Joint Venture Co. Ltd. was awarded the contract to refill the beach with 360,000 cu. meters of sand from a Rayong estuary. The contract is expected to be signed before the end of the year with work to begin sometime between January and May, depending on the length of the National Council for Peace and Order’s anti-corruption review of the contract.

kindof odd that these companies have no public presence, just an address

also odd that they havent figured out that the sand is just a few hundred meters off shore, no need to barge it from Rayong, could just bulldoze it back in while they are doing the drainage work
