It still doesn't look like it blocks much of the view, to me.

Please actually take a trip up to the view point the building is very imposing in real life.

this one taken in March 2014 even before reaching full height.
 

I believe the court has said there is no right to a protected view even for

the statue of Prince Apakorn Kiartivongse Chumphon Khet Udomsak,

" who camped in the Pattaya area while taking troops to defeat the Burmese in the 18th century. He also is known as the father of the Thai navy."

 

 

More photos taken this morning... some new things since my last visit.

 

The swimming pool.

 

The submarine.

 

The don't know what these are for's.

 

The destructed disco.

 

And some things mostly the same.

rubbish/garbage/trash  barges.

 

elf and safety.

 

They have improved the pavements,repaired the benches and railings ( which look a bit too low to me)

ohh and planted some Palm trees

nice photos john.I wonder what degree of motivation the government needs to haul away all that already-beached-crap in trucks. or maybe they think it's necessary  to display it a few more years to millions of more tourists: "Look people of the world! This ISN'T how you build a marina!"

Do you honestly feel you gave an intelligent reply to a sincere question?

Maybe they plan on re-using it for the "world class international marina"..version 2.0

But what difference would it make if they took of 5 floors, or even 15 floors?

 

Insignificant. Solution:

Personally I think they should finish and then on the back, on the upper floors, simply create a trompe-l'œil, or put up a giant video screen, showing the missing part of the view from the hill. Sorted!

what part of "wild west" wasn't clear for you?

[pattayadude]

Actually I think that's a very good solution..at night time or special occasions they could show other things...

bit like the newish high rise on Jomtien second road ( don't know its name ), during the day totally unassuming but at night a vibrant light show to rival Hong Kong... albeit just one building as opposed to the whole bay.

If that's the court's decision than that settles the matter.

 

 

Buyer beware!

I believe they ruled in both this case and VT7 case that there is no right to a view

but there are "other issues"  that confront Waterfront.

 

100% buyer beware !

Doesn't look like enough room for parking unless it goes 4 floors underground

I parked my motor bike on the footpath very near to your photo  while taking mine

its just a bit of a walk to the condo... I think the swimming pool would be better.

  Yes, I've taken another look at your photo.  The 'money view' is to the right of Waterfront, which doesn't block it at all.

You didn't physically go to the actual view point though ? its much more imposing in reality !

yes you can block it out with the camera lens  but when you are there in person the building dominates.

     I don't need to go to the actual viewpoint. I am in a condo about the same height of the viewpoint and look across at it.  I have a somewhat similar view of the back of Waterfront as the viewpoint has.  Yes, Waterfront is imposing and dominating--it was meant to be.  It is the signature building of Pattaya in the most important location--which called for a statement building.  Yes, it blocks some of the ocean, as other buildings do, as well.  Yes, it blocks some of my view of the ocean, too.  But, there is plenty of ocean view that is not blocked.  And, as I said before, the important view of Pattaya Bay and the breathtaking view of the sweep of the coastline with the city skyline in the background, is not blocked at all--gorgeous day and night.

Pictures from viewpoint of Khao Pra Tamnak in the old time. This location show panorama scene, the crescent shape of Pattaya beach. 

 

Compare to the current viewpoint. This is not funny for local people. We are serious on this issue. 

The high rise building devalues the identity of Pattaya bay.

on a more honest note(not that my prev. quote was dishonest) and maybe slightly off-topic, I used to live in Pattaya full time but now that i have discovered Colombia and bought a small penthouse with an open-air terrace with panoramic views(top floors of buildings with large terraces are unique for Colombia ), I stay there longer periods, more convenient for me with its proximity to the USA and the Caribbean, and I looooove salsa!.

Plans change, partners change, interests change, lifestyles change and answer to your question: I couldn't care less if this project gets built or dynamited. But. i'm not gonna lie, I will most likely be interested in buying a corner 2 bedroom if it ever gets built..You can't beat the location and its value!

Cheers!

 

 

Do you mean unique in Columbia? 

 

As my penthouses with hydrotherapy massage baths, barbecue and outdoor furniture in Capri, Cyprus and Lima must be figments of my imagination.
