Pattaya Beach remodel

Pattaya Beach remodel between August 2021 & November 2023 has started with the removal of many trees & widening the footpath & the road.

Heavey equipment is raring to go

November 2023 seems a very long time to finish this project, I’m guessing it’s going to be very flash indeed. 🙂

The trees are all in a very straight line. 🙂

Meanwhile back at the ranch…..

Work continues, many trees are being removed making lots of locals very unhappy.

These people are lodging aa complaint.

A group of prominent local Thai residents and community leaders came out today to Beach Road to protest the project. They stated that they felt it was destroying nature and was the wrong time to do a beach remodel with the city in such dire straits due to Covid-19. The project has been temporarily paused for discussions between the community leaders and the mayor.

Work continues

Many of these trees are over 60 years old.

That’s the Dusit Hotel in the background.

The extra traffic lane will allow for creation of 700 parking spaces along the 2.7-kilometer stretch between the Dusit Curve and Walking Street.

The blueprint also calls for creation of recreational areas on the beach, three underground restrooms and beach showers, plus the planting of new trees along Beach Road, and additional lighting for improved safety. This vital north-south artery, which only was fully patched up earlier this year after an agonizingly long bout of road construction, will be ripped up once again to widen it by three meters, taking that space from the footpath.

Moving the light posts

This was the morning of August 17 2021.

Out come the seats

Hopefully they will be upgraded.

This shot will give you an idea how much beach will be lost.

My history, particularly over the last 30 years is dominated by overseas travel. I sold my home in Australia October 20th 2011 and have have been living in Thailand since then. I don’t know where the time has gone? It seems like you go to sleep one night, wake up the next morning, and 20 years have flashed by. Not sure how many years I have left, however I have enjoyed a wonderful charmed life, and if it all ended today I would leave this world with no regrets. I was born in Sydney halfway through the last century, started my travels in the 60s with the usual U.K. Europe adventure at the age of 20, back to Australia and worked in Sydney, Melbourne & Adelaide in Sales & Marketing with multinational companies including Sanyo, Canon & Remington. Engaged to be married 3 times and never quite made it to the alter, finally realized by the mid 90s I was not cut out for "long term relationships" so I moved to the Gold Coast in Queensland in January 1987, worked for a couple of banks as a Financial Planner, I took a year off work in 1998 to travel and never went back to full time work again, after 25 fun filled years on the Coast I packed up and moved to Thailand. What is the purpose of this blog? Well I really want to use it to record my travel experiences & to display my photographs, give and receive travel tips, comment on places I visit, restaurants I eat in and use it to replace the autobiography I intended to write, apart from all that it helps me fill in my day. :) I moved to Thailand mainly because I wanted to keep travelling while my health allowed me to, there are huge advantages being closer to all the places I want to visit. Cost of living in Thailand is around 35% of the cost in Australia, plus flights are 50% cheaper because you are much closer to everywhere. ???? Consequently I am able to travel to many more places compared to living in Australia. Having said all that, it is & has always been my intention to return to Australia when my travelling is finished, I predict this will happen around 2021.
