Beach Rerererererenovation

The pavements along the road between dolphin circle and the beach don't usually cave-in on the Amari side. A bit ominous.

This walkway around the Dusit is less than 2 years old, and while it always seemed mildly hazardous now it's downright dangerous. Watch out for that first step, it's a DOOZY!

After years of struggling against foliage along the beach, concreting it over seems like a reasonable option. But how long until these start caving-in?

Sadly, the art installations that haven't gone missing don't seem to be weathering very well.

Its a bit like the Forth Bridge being painted...start at one end and by the time the other end is reached it`s time to start at the beginning again.

The contractors will be rubbing their hands with delight as the renovations built upon sand will once again have to be rebuilt......will it be more poystyrene dolphins or maybe larger mammals this time? Maybe a few plastic cows imported from Milton Keynes might enhance the beach :o

Except that it's exactly unlike painting a bridge. Painting a bridge is part of the expected maintenance program and -- in the long run -- much, much, much cheaper than building a new bridge. That the job finishes just as it needs to begin again is excellent planning.
