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.
