colinneil Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 The buildings owners have agreed to cooperate, is that a joke? If the building was built into the klong, they have no choise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisY1 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 They have plans.....1000s of them, but only a very few get implemented, and when they do, don't work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joskeshake Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) 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 Edited June 7, 2016 by Rimmer Fonts corrected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulic Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTuner Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Never noticed klongs in Pattaya. Unless they mean the streets turning into canals every time it drizzles a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgdawg Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 ...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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roomuck Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eefoo Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 More quality editing from Pattaya One. What exactly does a fire engine in Soi 13/3 have to do with klong-encroachment in Naklua? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrTuner Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharecropper Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Interesting days ahead. It could be financial bloodbath for a lot of people very soon. 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.
