Wrecked – Pattaya Walking Street

Apart from traffic and lighting difficulties, Narit wants the government to close the street to autos to protect tourist safety. Business owners on Pattaya Walking Street have accused the authorities of creating a public nuisance and sullying the city’s reputation due to an unfinished road reconstruction project. If the Pattaya Walking Street Business Association wants to maintain its public image, the road must be completed faster than the current schedule and more street lights installed. On Wednesday, Narit Petcharat, president of the Pattaya Walking Street Business Association, met with a group of business owners to discuss the unfinished road work.
