Heavy rains tend to cause landslides along steep
sections of Pratamnak Hill.

Pattaya plans to build a wall along a steep stretch of Pratamnak Road to
prevent mudslides like the one that blocked traffic after a recent storm.
Ampol Yutisri of the city Environment Department who led a crew to Pratamnak
Hill June 23 said the block wall still is awaiting budget approval, but is
planned to stop mudslides that occur during rainy season.
Ampol’s crew was assigned to clean up after a storm the day before, trimming
branches that cover the street and break and shower Pratamnak with leaves
during storms. The trees there grow quickly and need constant attention, he
said.
