john luke Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Progressing well. See last photograph; there appears a view of the beach from the elevated viewing platform. Good for fireworks if you have the correct lens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forcebwithu Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 Looks like they're laying a foundation for a large structure next to the 747. Perhaps a terminal for self-loading cargo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's destined to be another tourist trap for when the tourists return in numbers. IIRC, the no. 1 thing tourists like to do on holiday is eat with no. 2 being shopping. Sounds like a boring holiday to me, but then to each their own. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half the town looks like a bombed out war zone. How could that land be worth big bucks ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forcebwithu Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 The new building on Soi 15 near the Buakhao intersection is almost done. And on Buakhao opposite Soi 15 the new hotel is almost completed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to Acapulco over 15 years ago for a short visit. At the time I was too arsed for the long flight to LOS. The beach promenade stretched for miles, seemed like endless condo buildings packed side by side. On a walk along the promenade I would encounter numerous hawkers flipping sales brochures etc. During the walk you could barely even see the waters as they were blocked by the developments. I would reckon then (and still now) a very high percentage of those units were (and remain) vacant. Very similar (although not quite as packed in) experience in South Rio de Janeiro back in the day. Endless hulking behemoths are far as the eye could see. Each with only a few lights on at night. Kind of reminds me of what you see along Na Jomtien. I'm sure many of the investors thought similar things to what you mentioned above. And most of them are probably crying in their tequila as I write this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very , very true what you say, but Thailand is at the cusp of major change. The poor can't take much more and the corrupt have gone two years without backhanders. I think investors are "all in" on an "odds on favourite" .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KWA Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Could be a big one starting on the football pitch just off Third Road north of Soi 14(?), which goes up to Max Central and M Club. The football pitch has already gone and a fence erected around part of the site at least, with lorries dumping earth today. If I remember I'll have a closer look in the morning for any clues. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed that too. They've been working on clearing it for a couple of weeks now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
