Pattaya City Hall has pledged to finally patch a hole it dug and
forgot about on Jomtien Second Road seven months ago.
Contacted by the Pattaya Mail about the gaping hole at the intersection of
Second Road and near Bunkanchanaram Temple, city engineer Phairat Boonsin
admitted the hole was dug in April. No workers have been back to close it
since.
Residents in the area long have been annoyed by the forgotten roadwork and
say it’s a safety hazard.
Phairat said the hole was dug during wastewater-system repairs. It exposes
the main water-supply pipe operated by the Provincial Waterworks Authority
and telephone trunks lines for the TOT (Public) Co.
The engineer apologized to the public for the long-running inconvenience and
promised workers will get to Jomtien Beach before year-end to fix it.
