Story by Vanessa Saenngarm



PATTAYA: -- Mr. Weerawat Khakai, Assistant District Chief Officer with the Division of Local Public Works and City Officials went on location to the buildings situated in front of Pump Station in Banglamung, Chonburi along the Klong Peukplub to prepare them for demolition.

The Klong has been a flood gate which allows water to flow into it during heavy rain. It seems that these buildings have invade into the canal (Klong) and has becomes narrower due to the those building stretching from Naklua to the Beach Road.

City Officials announced the demolition of these buildings and are exercising the Building Control Act. The building Owners have agreed to cooperate.

The buildings owners have agreed to cooperate, is that a joke?

If the building was built into the klong, they have no choise.

They have plans.....1000s of them, but only a very few get implemented, and when they do, don't work!

if somebody from the Pattaya Division of Local Public Works and City Officials read this,maybe they can do something on the flooding in Soi Bonkoch every time,putting new draining pipes from 30 cm wont help, like they did few months ago

There has always been flooding and there always will be flooding. Of course paving/covering

to ground with roads and buildings does not help. All you can really do is help the water drain

off and recede as quickly as possible.

Never noticed klongs in Pattaya. Unless they mean the streets turning into canals every time it drizzles a bit.

...has anyone heard of a top flight civil engineer doing an "off the cuff assessment" of Pattaya storm drainage system?

It must be well worth the read!'

Please post any links...

I must be losing the plot.

I can not make sense of this article.

The story and the photos don't seem to match?

Lewinskis? Soi 13/3 Pattaya? Naklua?

Am I missing something here?

I would be grateful if someone explained how the story and the photos match up.

It has been said the army will be marching in to Pattaya next week and taking over. They have ripped down heaps of stuff in Phuket and phangna.

Is this a last minute attempt by Pattaya officials to show they have everything under control?

The west side of walking street has all been built illegally. Heaps has been spent there and it pulls in heaps of cash for some influential people. There is also the issue of a very tall uncompleted condo building at Bali hai Pier.

Interesting days ahead. It could be financial bloodbath for a lot of people very soon.

More quality editing from Pattaya One. What exactly does a fire engine in Soi 13/3 have to do with klong-encroachment in Naklua?

Deja Vu?

The Soi 13/3 connection must be due to the infamous Pump Station being there (or at least I think it was). Some genius probably googled it. However it wasn't water that was pumped there.

It'll be interesting to see if the army releases business owners in the city from their corruption-imposed payments - or just steps in to receive them.
