Pattaya workers removed a damaged pavilion and repaired soil erosion at a
Pratamnak Hill beach.
Workers from the city Environment Department cleared the abandoned pavilion
on “Yim Yom Beach” July 10, then filled in holes left behind and others
caused by beach erosion.
The removal came more than a year after the pavilion was damaged by a storm.
Local residents have been complaining to city hall since then about the
dilapidated structure only to see their complaints fall on deaf ears.
Parks director Chaowai Praditpruek said a new pavilion eventually will be
built, but the work falls under a 600 million baht Jomtien Beach renovation
project that has not yet been funded.
