Some serious money going into some slippery folks pockets there then. Not 4 million euro, but about 2 million euro, still a lot of money for a bag of hot air.

mrfill Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I see in the picture that they are planning to drive on the right as well. Clearly, the artist is not impressionable enough to see things accurately... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 There will be no tourists left to use the tram when the project has finished. Sad really, but you can't cure stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many years that the number of Tourists coming to Pattaya continues to increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torturedsole Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I take it the baht bus drivers will be redeployed as tram drivers? What could possibly go wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the only possible way of preventing them swerving over to the left for passengers and mowing down other road users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other way is also to reduce the number of licences given year after year the taxis (Green, yellow.blue and whatever) and the bathbus are already at least 50% in excess in the Pattaya streets, they turn endless honking at each pedestrian, a lot of them are empty most of the time. It's a major pollution source and a traffic nuisance now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt the number are up, but I think you will find the revenue form them is down, way down. Zero baht tourists is the best they can do here now.

gk10002000 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I love the place for what it is or was, but this is like putting lipstick on a pig. Just building on top of garbage. Beach water is unswimmable. no proper waste or septic system city wide. Road and sidewalk subsurface and stability is highly questionable for foot and car traffic. I have doubts about it handling a tram or train Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have doubts about it handling a tram or train Sadly what it was is long gone. It was quite small and not so crowded, difficult to get to and there was little beyond 2nd Rd, except the Honey Hotel. Never came out of the 2nd/North,Beach, Tai block except to go to Jomtiem or Naklua Beaches. Mostly beer bars, and my favourite used to have a dozen or so bobbing behind the bar. A tram isn't going to sort out the current mess, a few decades of greed and ineptitude to resolve there... it's gone forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
