Rimmer 10,742 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Boats cleared ahead of army’s march onto Bali Hai Pier PATTAYA:-- As promised, the army descended onto Bali Hai Pier Tuesday, ensuring speedboat owners moved their trailered watercraft as ordered and overseeing the start of a massive cleanup and renovation. Several hundred soldiers blocked off access to the jetty’s large parking area early Nov. 1 as tractors with scraper blades began removing muck, oil and grime that accumulated over the years. Meanwhile, jackhammers pounded away at the boat ramp adjacent to the parking area, which will force speedboat owners looking to put their vessels back in the water to go elsewhere. It appeared Oct. 31 that the hundreds of boat owners had complied with the military’s order to relocate their parked vessels before the month’s end. Pickup trucks and tractors were seen throughout the day hauling away 100-150 boats to lots on Soi Kophai and in Jomtien Beach. Apart from the boats, tents that operators had used as their temporary offices to sell tickets also were removed.

smedly 34,485 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 this is an area of scenic beauty and look at the mess they left behind, embedded oil in the ground that will take a lot of money to clean up, they left a health hazard and will pay absolutely nothing towards the cleaning, maybe now the local authorities will see the potential this place has and develop it properly after it has been sanitised Link to post Share on other sites

Businesses just take over public footpaths, roadways and use the space. A couple of garages and motorbike shops near me and also a few on 3rd road have made a disgraceful mess of the public areas.
