Current Road Works Pattaya (Threads Merged)

On the south end of the beach, two of the new light poles the power cable is routed through the access cover. Not only that, but they stripped off the outer protective layer of insulation before the cable enters the opening. Hope nobody tries to close the access door over the unprotected wires.

'm also baffled as to why there are two power conduits poking out of sand by this light pole. They're obviously not needed for that light as it's working fine off another buried power source.

And as long as I'm on a roll of critiquing the new work, the two week old new pavers look like crap.

Just curious, what is wrong with the pavers?  They are just already dirty or something else? I will be in town starting Apr 7th with wifey.....don't want her to trip you know LOL!

Just that I think they're dirty and tired looking already.

PATTAYA, Thailand – Pattaya City has unveiled plans to commemorate the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej, also known as King Rama IX, through the construction of a monument at the site of the old royal sailing club on Pattaya beach

This raised area on beach road is one of the few places to sit and this area attracts not the best crowd ...

So is this a good or bad idea?

With Rama IX looking down, I suspect the vagrant types will not be allowed to hang around there in the way they do now, so probably a good idea. 

But not so good for the area they'll move on to!

Beach footpath photo update from this morning's rideabout.

A few of the new pavers are missing.

It took longer than I thought it would, but the shower fixtures still didn't last very long.

Meanwhile shower #2 and #3 are still waiting to be finished.

The footpath is already pretty narrow in spots, so some mindless drone decided to make it narrower still with strategic placement of trash bins.

Wonder when they'll get around to finishing the planting of trees.

Odd they finished planting the newer section further south, while the older section to the north has been forgotten.

Ending on a positive note. The beach itself is in great shape.
