Maybe also expensive (at least on the budgetary estimate). Is the sports area located in the middle of a road junction? Getting to it safely could be more extreme than the sports played within. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites

richard_smith237 27,415 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Basket ball court ? how many ‘locals’ play basket ball ?? Saipak Takraw - ok.. and skateboarding - So what level of quality can be constructed for 1 million baht ???? Actually, I imagine 1 million baht could construct something fairly reasonable.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Benmart 5,450 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Facilities that are built tend to be neglected and fall into disrepair. One need only look at the pathetic condition of the childrens playground, Jomtien Beach, across from the night market. Having been closed for months due to the latest, it would seem a perfect time to repair the rubberized play surface and other areas within. Talk about a bad image. That includes the stained and filthy Jomtien Beach promanade footpath. Someone ought to invent a pathway scrubber/cleaner. Oh wait!...it has been invented. If it we here, it most likely would break down due to neglect and lack of maintenance. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
