john luke Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 The above collection go back to mid to late Summer 2018. A new development with filled blocks now seems to be taking place and these were taken this morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forcebwithu Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I have to admit the finished project looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painter Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Agreed, at the moment it does look good. Let's hope its maintained in such a way. I'm still confused by what they are creating with those black blocks, which, ironically, are being fitted retrospectively . My initial thought was a "conduit" for the power cables, but that's not happening... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see how that will work, but we shall see with the first big rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but they seem to be fitting more and more of them along the length of the beach, as opposed to the couple of initial sections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barsie Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 It looks pretty good right now- was looking at it from PGB, but how long for.........? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john luke Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 Are they constructing some type of gutter or drainage track? Before Drainage above and after below As a few have said the beach does not look bad at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazle Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 As I have said before, with the sea now never covering a large proportion of the beach, I wonder how that area is going to be kept clean of things like piss. I can imagine the headlines in a few years' time - "Pattaya beach deemed a health hazard"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barsie Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Ok they were building a new large approx 1m circular pipe out to sea when I saw it- Maybe they think can run the rainwater off the beach into sea. I’m only guessing - it’s often hard to tell the intention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasseye Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I'm wondering if they will come in and attack the rat problem after they finish the sand project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR007 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Would love to see those massive brushwood Umbrellas reinstated along the beach as they were until the early 90's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazle Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 4 hours ago, Painter said: A year or two ago, they built a concrete jetty next to the sewage outlet at the far south end of the beach. You can see it in Painter's picture. The reason for it was not apparent until now - it forms the end of the "nourished" beach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john luke Posted February 15, 2019 Author Share Posted February 15, 2019 The seem to be creating two channels. My view is that it is a measure aimed at preventing damage to the sand from water running across and from the pavement; that said I am not an engineer.

In December they still had a big part of beach road towards PBG to cover. Edit: nevermind just saw the pics above. Great job.

Binlid Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Beach looks great but now they need to get rid up all them flippin speedboats parked up. I went live on Facebook last year looking down at the beach from the mountain, my brother commented "where are you Dunkirk?" 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunDon Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I must have clicked on this thread 6 times now, expecting to see posts about food and drink on the beach! 😟 Should’nt the title read “Pattaya Beach replenishment”? 🤗 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post thegrogmonster Posted February 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2019 They will now have enough sand to hold the ladyboy beach volley ball tournament in Pattaya instead of Jomtien. This will save travel time for some BMs. 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
