sometime Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Got friends coming over to Jomtien and like to use Dongtan beach, Anyone know if the sunbeds are still on Dongtan beach near the Rabbit Resort, after City Hall changed all the rules. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Dont know about the sunbeds but they have massacred the old trees widened the road "improved" the parking lot ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rak sa_ngop Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 The new road parking lot terminates before the Rabbit Resort. They started at this far end and are still working back to the police thingy at the junction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Recently Dongtan beach (north to police box) was still a construction site with heavy machinery etc. I am not sure whether this mess stretches up to Rabbit resort? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bberrythailand Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Will they do a new road or only a car park ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiBob Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 The new construction ends before the Rabbit Resort. The beach concessions with sunbeds are open and waiting your friends arrival. Many of the concessions have Rabbit menus so they can order food. The beach is closed on Wednesdays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that you meant to say that the sun bed venders are NOT allowed to set up on Wed & Thurs. I doubt that the beach is closed (blocked off) from people walking along it or sitting on the sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct, the Thursday two month ban on the vendors is now over and they have resumed Thursday service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midas Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Plus before this destruction it was one of the few pedestrianised places where you didn't have to worry about vehicles creeping up behind you (except for the odd motorbike by Marine Department staff). Now it seems these roadworks have given people an excuse to park any vehicle they like on the sand between the trees right up to the end of the road. It's a shambles and a tragedy and it's totally lost its previously nice atmosphere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pedestrian only access is still enforced. Whether that will be be case years from now when the final phase of construction is complete is an unknown.
