Popular Post forcebwithu Posted April 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2023 Saw mentioned on another forum they fixed the footpath around the Dusit point. Had a look for myself this morning at the new "path". It's passable, but I'll bet those rocks are slippery when wet. 5 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forcebwithu Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Reason no. 2,675 why Pattaya has flooding problems. My neighbor trimmed their bushes and trees over a week ago and it looks like they're leaving the debris for the next rainstorm to clean up with the smaller bits ending up further clogging the drain system. 1 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forcebwithu Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 (edited) @fforest saw your post on PA about the showers on the beach footpath. So just for you a pic update from this morning. Only spotted one which is across from Soi 5. On PA you wondered why they placed it on the footpath and not on the beach. I suspect it's because there's a law against any permanent structures within so many meters of the high tide line. That's the reason they had to tear out the retaining wall they started to build on the north end a couple of years ago. Didn't know had they beach games going on this weekend. They picked one of the hottest weekends of the year to host the games. I pity the competitors. The beach footpath destruction extends to Hard Rock.

Thanks for taking the Photos,I was too lazy to go look myself.... In these photos, the shower does not look so bad because there is so much open space on the walkway.....But this will not be the case for the other 3 showers further down the beach.. When I said the showers should be on the beach, I meant right on the very edge of the walkway...Maybe like 3/4th beach 1/4th walkway...This would work perfectly... Hey at least they did something good for once by putting in the showers....Its a real drag to go swimming and track the sand back into the condo.....You can NEVER NEVER get all the sand off without a beach shower.....

forcebwithu Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Don't know how long they've been in place, but first time I noticed the rubbish bins on the north end of the beach footpath. Hope there are no breaks in the electric wire insulation. If they get any lower someone is going to get clotheslined if not paying attention while walking. Wonder if they'll finish the new showers before the next cycle of ripping up the footpath begins. Surprised they're using the blue pvc pipe instead of the much more durable black pipe you see used in high stress environments. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By using the blue pipes it gives them a reason to rip the path up again next year. Which means more money in pockets for friends and relatives from the public purse. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that they continue to build directly onto sand, guarantees whatever they build will need to be rebuilt in a couple of years time. It the Thai equivalent of painting The Firth of Forth Bridge. 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fygjam Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 So did Indian "engineers" teach the Thais or was it Thai "engineers" teaching the Indians? A 200-metre stretch of an under-construction bridge over the Ganges in Bihar has collapsed, just over a year after another similar incident involving the same bridge. The Bihar government said that the collapsed part was deliberately pulled down because experts had flagged design flaws in the structure. The construction of the 3.1km bridge connecting Aguani in Khagaria district with Sultanganj in Bhagalpur began in 2014 and was expected to be completed in 2019. The deadline has since been extended four times. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forcebwithu Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 It's true, Pattaya is Finally Removing Unsightly Electrical Wires off Walking Street. They missed a few wires though. The squirrel roasters will soon be a thing of the past. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forcebwithu Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 2nd Rd end of Soi 15 is passable only for those on two wheels or two feet.
