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.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
