webfact Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Pattaya: FREE multi-story car park coming this year FILE PHOTO The page of Pattaya City reported on Facebook that Terminal 21 executives led by Praset Sri-ularpong met with Pattaya's mayor Sontaya Khunpluem to discuss plans for a multi-story car park to be built to be built in front of Foodland. Terminal 21 is putting 400 million baht into the project that will provide free parking for visitors to Pattaya as part of the NEO Pattaya project. Once all the environmental assessments are finished the nine story structure that will cater to 1,400 cars will be built. Picture: Pattaya City Building is expected to start in March and be finished before the end of 2021, taking advantage of the quiet period during the pandemic. The delegation also discussed other matters related to the development of Pattaya as part of the Eastern Economic Corridor proposals.

Foodland is on the ground floor away from the beach, not sure what they mean by "in front of Foodland", that is either the street or the existing outdoor carpark.

Gate 5 if i remember right Thanks, yeah found it on Google Maps.... next to Starbucks, facing North Rd. Lovely addition to the view a multi-storey carpark will be there! I don't know of any plan to demolish the buildings across North Rd so must be in their car-park. Edited January 14, 2021 by jacko45k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffr2 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Entrance to that mall was very poorly planned. On weekends, getting into that parking lot is a nightmare. Especially if coming from N. Pattaya. Horrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the traffic jams pre covid? They will be back at some point then try to get to their new fancy parking tower and out again. I will say it again Terminal 21 was built in the wrong place it was and is a massive white elephant, just more so now. . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the way they take 2 full lanes there to turn right...really messes up traffic. Down to only one lane at times. The Baht buses are the worst!!!

Ireland32 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Protect cars during floods and not do proper drainage ok I guess I’m in with a 9 story monstrosity , maybe more parking in Pattaya and busses will. Rule the streets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s see how ways this forum will turn it into something negative. 12 so far. It is whether you think the construction is a good idea or not and one should see the disadvantages. It will not help traffic in that area, and is going to be an eyesore and block the view. T21 itself has turned one of the easier routes into town more difficult with another unnecessary shopping Mall. Will it make traffic easier during events like the fireworks or music festival, to a very limited degree I expect. But getting out of that multi story will not be easy, the roads in that area get choked every event. If it is such a good idea, a pity they didn't have it when they built the place. And why is a train service planned and more parking? Let us look at the other roaring success, Bali Hai and the car park there!

The "ladies only" level works for me. I jump out on approach and leave the wife to park up. Always spaces there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come to think of it, its a stupid idea at anytime. I hate crowds, as you can probably tell. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
