Unfinished work in Naklua is causing dust
problems for residents and vendors.

Dust and smoke are choking neighbors around
Phothisamphanphitthayakhan School, where contractors dug a long stretch of
sidewalk, then disappeared.
Mid-sized tools still littered the area on Pattaya-Naklua Road right at the
crossing bridge, in front of Phothisamphanphitthayakhan School Feb. 1, with
local food vendors especially decrying the mess.
Noodle vendor Somkiat Kaewwiset, 36, said he’s had many fewer customers due
to a never-ending dust issue. He said he’s not even sure if the holes dug in
spots along the sidewalks, then abandoned, are the last to be done.
“The roads are dug again and again and when work is completed, the roads are
not left in good condition, with bricks left lying around,” he complained.
As of press time, there was no response from city hall.
