Anyone have any idea why they did this?


Recommended Posts

So they got Beach road beautification finished or did they all the equipments gone all the materials are gone no more employees working. But in walking today I noticed for whatever reason they left all the old blocks and brickwork in place between Soi 10 and Soi 12. Since it's now low season it would seem like they would continue to work and finish it unless they're not going to finish it and I can't imagine why just in that location anybody got any ideas?

The site will be used for a new monument to the late King.

Pattaya to erect monument honouring King Bhumibol Adulyadej, The Legendary Royal Sailor

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. Deputy Mayor Kritsana Boonsawat presided over a meeting highlighting the city’s dedication to preserving its cultural heritage.

The inspiration behind this initiative stems from a historic event where Their Majesties King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit, accompanied by the Royal Family, sailed in Pattaya Bay decades ago. This event holds immense historical and cultural significance.

On April 19, 1966, at 4:28 AM, His Majesty the King personally sailed a 13-foot OK-class sailboat named “Vega” across the Gulf of Thailand, from the Klai Kungwon Royal Palace in Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan, to Toey Ngam Beach, Sattahip, Chonburi, arriving at 9:28 PM after a 17-hour journey covering 111 kilometres. His remarkable feat conquered challenging weather conditions and numerous obstacles.

That is at least a pretty reasonable explanation, let's hope it is true.

My first thought was that they just don't like to do streetworks in the rainy season.

Good post.....
 

But would it not make more sense to put a monument out at Bali Hi where the boats are?

Its seems not a good idea to put a monument right in the center of brown bag drinking vagrant central...

A long ago forgotten boating center is a poor reason to build a monument there....

The reason is in the article. That particular site has historical significance.

It does seem odd that there are long stretches of the old pavement north and south of the planned monument site. Unless they're going to use different pavers I would have thought they could have replaced the old pavers with new closer to the planned site.
