“For the first phase which is 3.5 kilometers along Jomtien Beach on the Na Jomtien Southern End we have a 586,047,000 baht budget.”

 

“We have hired an Italian-Thai development public company to do this project. The project contract has started from May 30th, 2020 until November 15th, 2022 and is in total 900 days.”

“Sand is being taken from Rang Kwean Island which is about 15 kilometers from Jomtien beach. It is the same sand as we took for Pattaya Beach. The goal is to have a similar beach size for Jomtien Beach as Pattaya Beach was expanded to.”

“When the project is complete, the beach will be about 50 meters wide.”

That's a lot of money for a bit of sand to improve a beach that doesn't need much improvement.

It's not the sand that is expensive. It are the "commissions" .....

Pattaya Mail :

 

Pattaya and Jomtien beaches continue their beautification makeover with the ongoing Jomtien Beach Sand Rejuvenation Project Phase 1, that has garnered substantial attention and acclaim for its mission to rejuvenate the scenic beaches into a prime tourist destination.

The Director of the Port Authority Regional Office, Pattaya Branch, Ekkarat Kantharo, reported on Sept 22, saying, “The primary goal of the project is to counteract the effects of coastal erosion that have afflicted the sandy coastline of Jomtien Beach over the years, providing both tourists and locals with pristine shores for relaxation and recreational activities”

Phase 1 of the project has achieved a milestone by completing the sand replenishment process in both the Na Jomtien Subdistrict Municipality area (800 meters) and the Pattaya City area (2,775 meters), totaling 3,575 meters of newly revitalized beachfront. This achievement has drawn praise from the public, local businesses, and tourists, both Thai and foreign, who commend the project for its transformative impact on this natural gem.
