Popular Post webfact Posted March 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2021 Picture: Sophon Cable TV Pattaya's mayor has praised his administration's moves to open up parking on Beach Road at the resort. This meant that Thais in private cars came to the resort's beach in large numbers last weekend as they were able to park on the right on Beach Road. Red and white prohibiting paint had been removed. Earlier representations were made to the local and provincial police to change the parking rules, reported Sophon Cable TV on Facebook. Picture: Sophon Cable TV The media published a picture of mayor Sontaya Khunpluem striding purposefully down beach road with his minions in toe. Other work to allow more parking continues to give greater convenience to hotel and businesses and bus stops will even be clearly marked. Parking on beach road is now 24 hours, reported the media. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-03-17 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kerryd Posted March 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2021 Of course all the people parking their cars, trucks, buses, scooters, food-carts and so on won't block access to the beach in any way, right ? Unlike other areas where they do ? And surely allowing parking there won't cause any issues with traffic flow as people block lanes waiting for parking spaces to open, or just double park in the middle of a traffic lane. (Nah - this will be "different" that those "other" places !) They can get away with it now as there is no where near as much traffic as there used to be. But what happens when that traffic comes back (i.e. when the tourists return and all the hotels, restaurants and bars re-open and traffic from all that starts making Beach Road look like Sukhumvit. Again. Oh right. I forgot. People have short (very short) memories here. Like when they dug up Walking Street and found those "ancient pipes" that didn't seem to serve any purpose. (As they were dry but the fact it hadn't rained in weeks and all the businesses were shut down wouldn't have had anything to do with that, right ? So those pipes mustn't have had any reason to be there ! Apparently no one noticed the sewer drains along the street either I guess or wondered how all the water normally drained from WS when it did rain.) Kind of like it seems they've forgotten how much traffic used to be on Beach road, which was why those no parking marks were put there in the first place ! But now they look and must think "There's hardly any traffic here, why not let them park everywhere !" 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffr2 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I went from Dolphin round about to walking street a few weeks ago, around 10am. Passed maybe 10 cars on the road. Dead, dead, dead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will double parking be allowed? Kerry above makes the points well. These guys........ Edited March 17, 2021 by jacko45k 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spread the word. Pedestrians will also be kept safe, as there appears to be an abundance of " Crash Barrier Rollers " in the Armco barrier which separates the Crazy Drivers from the Walkers.

Weekends are less busy For many years, I've avoided going into Pattaya on the weekends. Just to much of a mess. Now? No biggie! Sure, more cars, but nothing like 2 years ago. And on weekdays? It's a breeze! Even easy parking now at Central Festival. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
