Bali Hai contractors race November fleet show deadline

PATTAYA:--Pattaya contractors will be cutting it close, predicting the renovation of Bali Hai Pier will be done “within” November – the same month the jetty is supposed to host an international naval fleet show.

 

Work began June 10 on the area covering 550 sq. meters where 96 more closed-circuit television cameras will be installed, an access bridge rebuilt along with a 10-rai parking lot.

 

The pier will reopen fully after that first phase when a second project involving smaller jobs and interior improvements to harbor-area buildings will commence.

 

The work began with Pattaya engineers removing utility poles and old pillars to relevel the open area. Building materials, meanwhile, were brought in for the bridge work.

"with a 10-rai parking lot "

 

what? more parking area and I thought it was meant to be  landscaped

presumably this additional parking is for those who don't want to pay the fees at the automated car park or to risk never seeing their car again

Pattaya needs more car parks.  A highish multi-story on a baht bus route would pay for itself quickly - particularly if it could take coaches. Park and Ride schemes are the way forward if the police continue to allow idle meterless taximeter cabs & bike hire places to clutter up the roads.

The parking lot should have been made under the park.
