The Bali Hai pier a new dream
If we join the rumor even with the designs of architects about the so-called “Balihai Markets”, then this would be a new tourist attraction.
The Balihai market should become the center of the new marina to be opened with a beautiful “strolling boulevard” with cozy cafes and shops for art, fashion, souvenirs and so-called TOP products. (“One Tambon One Product”) There is even talk of a hotel, completely originally designed from sea containers.
However, it is a race against time. For example, the Balihai market should be ready immediately with the new marina and should be opened with the large “ASEAN International Fleet Review 2017” from November 13 to 22, where Gringo has given an excellent overview. There was even talk of 40 naval ships. If this is not enough, they also want to set up a big music spectacle on November 16 with participants from the various participating Asean states such as KU Winds with orchestra, the Takeshi Band, Koh Mr. Saxman and many other “Asean Stars!”
A few days ago I studied this area again with a certain curiosity and my hats off if this can be realized in just 10 days. Much will probably be disguised by means of a certain decorative structure. Show must go on!
The area certainly lends itself to an attractive promenade in the future, which guarantees a certain sustainability. Also “clean up” the seawater in this area so that there is a future perspective.
When I read on an English-language Thailand site about the other constructed and washed away boulevards, I am afraid that the money will be wasted.

Give the people a dream!
Well, that depends, if it is finally going to be built properly and take into account good water drainage and sufficient space for parking. And a good system for cleaning the seawater and for the sewage drainage. Then it can certainly become something and upgrade the city of Pattaya, but then there must also be a good waste recycling system and incinerators. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. We'll see. Whether it's well thought out and built with the rest. So Pattaya Board go for it and create something really good, usable and beautiful for everyone to enjoy.
The drainage of the sewage water is not the problem.
What I understand is that the treatment plant – insofar as it works – has too little capacity to treat all the produced sewage water.
Since the expansion of such an installation will take some time, the sewage water will continue to be discharged directly into the sea for some time to come.
After all, you have to leave it somewhere.
This apart from everything that comes floating in from Bangkok of course.
the Thai have finally come to their senses and now lay vowels everywhere and no longer the slate of the past that I predicted would not last long, but yes, they are stubborn and still do their own thing against their better judgement.
I also have my doubts about the future of the works, whether they will be carried out sensibly and sustainably. time will tell!
