Expansion eyed for Jomtien boat ramp

PATTAYA:--The Soi 11 speedboat ramp could be expanded and a new tourist attraction built in Jomtien following a survey by military and Pattaya officials.

 

Col. Popanan Luangpanuwat, commander of the National Council for Peace and Order in Banglamung, led Pattaya City Council and other government officials on a survey of Jomtien Beach Jan. 5 to check on the progress of speedboat operations.

 

Following the demolition of the Bali Hai Pier boat ramp, the Soi 11 launch area has become the primary location for speedboats to enter and leave the sea.

As a result, the ramp might be doubled in size to 60 meters to handle all the traffic.

 

However, local residents are still complaining about owners using tractors to haul their watercraft over land. The army chief reiterated that vendors must haul their boats with pickup trucks using trailers.

 

While in the area, the delegation also scoped out eight rai of vacant land around a lake on Soi 14 off Jomtien Second Road.

Haha. Tractors? Sometimes they use motorbikes with sidecars.

Tractors pulling large boats does the Traffic on beach road no favors

Or a train of Jet-Ski's...

Pattaya didn't want them. Why do they think Jomtien does???

If everybody would just take a ferry,  problem solved.
