Repairs to Koh Larn’s busiest pier aren’t expected to be completed until next year.
Mayor Sonthaya Kunplome inspected the ongoing refurbishment of the Tawan Beach Pier March 14.
The 25-year-old jetty was severely dilapidated, even though it handled more than 10,000 people a day before the coronavirus pandemic. Safety of those traversing the pier became a critical issue, with a complete overhaul ordered.
The pier’s foundation, walkway, roof and railings all are being upgraded or replaced. The work will last into next year, Sonthaya said.
About 60% of Koh Larn’s tourists pass through the Tawan Beach Pier, with the rest using the Front Pier.
