Popular Post Rimmer Posted January 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2020 Pattaya football stadium stalled at 40% complete PATTAYA:--Pattaya’s football stadium has been under construction for more than a decade. Whether it will be completed for a 2026 Olympic event remains an open question. Mayor Sonthaya Kunplome and his deputies paid their annual visit to the 254-rai Soi Chaiyapruek 2 Eastern National Sports Center Jan. 16 and found that little has changed since their Jan. 25, 2019 visit. Contractor Rama 2-HT Joint Venture Co. claims the job is now 40 percent complete, but currently is stalled due to unforeseen problems drilling a foundation for the south amphitheater. Begun in 2009, the 774-million-baht sports complex was intended to house 12 different sport fields, swimming pool, tennis court, 12 main and minor sport stadiums and a 500-car parking lot. The first phase of the project, with 90 million baht spent on 5,000 of the planned 20,000 seats at the football stadium, was completed in September 2010. Grass was planted and construction of the final 15,000 seats was supposed to begin with a 500-million-baht budget later that year, with completion set for late 2012.

Popular Post Emdog Posted January 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2020 I watched 2nd road Jomtien being built. Had vision of project manager father and son looking over the site cartoon with line "Someday son, this project will be yours" It's never about actually building something worthwhile, useful & with a bit of quality. It's about "sharing the wealth" plain and simple... keep that pipeline going 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLW Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I can tell you why the construction has stalled. The brown envelopes have run out. This is just another fine example why nothing is improving in this country. Corruption and Nepotism at its best and so deeply ingrained in the society.

Chang_paarp Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) 40%?? What an unusual completion point for a Thai project, they are usually 29.3% or 37%, never a round number like 40% .

So annual visits from the mayor are the standard? Does he not get regular updates from his minions? Surely no visible progress would prompt a visit a little sooner than the annual visit. Nothing serious happens unless a poo-yai makes an official visit.

Let's ignore the major and minor sports thing. However a 500 car parking lot? ???? That would barely fit the VIP's let alone athletes and heaven forbid spectators and the obligatory vendors "souvenirs" and food would be up in arms about the lack of facilities they require. It is a shamble I say! Or a job that needs some "special" advisers. Edited January 20, 2020 by Chang_paarp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
