The promised year-end completion date for the rebuilding of Pattaya Beach came and went without a word from city hall, but officials are now vowing the work will wrap this month.
Pattaya Marine Department Director Ekaraj Kantaro said Feb. 7 that contractor Marine Construction Co. is down to the southernmost 100 meters of beachfront. Only leveling of the sand and sand bag work remains.
Once complete, the Marine Department has set its sights on Jomtien Beach as the next target for erosion mitigation. The Marine Department has requested a 590-million-baht budget for a restoration project to cover three kilometers of Jomtien.
