Renovations to Pattaya’s well-known Walking Street are about 80% complete, based on the city mayor Sontaya Khunpluem. The project aims to scrub up the redlight district road and draw in vacationers of all ages… sure, he mentioned all ages.
The mayor told Thai media that overhead electric and communication wires have been moved to the underground to make the road appear extra stunning and orderly. Don’t worry and artists shall be invited to color and design the footpath and highway within the Walking Street area to supply an iconic look. The street was often waterlogged during the wet season, so drainage pipes are now being improved.
Pattaya officials want to draw in visitors to the street both day and evening. Officials are now within the design process for a retractable roof that would cowl the street, allowing people to go to the road anytime of the day as well as in the course of the rainy season. The development is expected to start in 2023.
Sontaya also added that a rumour about tearing down the street is not true, it is beneath construction and renovation. The business owners on Pattaya Walking Street are assured that their companies shall be recovered after the Covid-19 restrictions are lifted, the mayor says..
