Restaurants and bakeries in Chonburi have requested that Pattaya City stop the one-way visitors along Jomtien Beach, which they claim is causing harm to their businesses.
It was put in place to reduce the rain season’s underground drainage issues.
The firms claimed to be satisfied with the drainage job.
City Hall has already started the one-way transportation system along the shore, which they claim has caused large congestion and dissuaded individuals from visiting the area, though the project has yet to begin.
The businesses have urged local officials to hold off on the agreement until the work is complete.
At least 200 companies including franchises, cafés and treatment stores met Kritsana Bunsawat, deputy governor of Pattaya, yesterday to explore their problems.
In preparing for the drainage work, the new program began on March 1 along a 3. 7 kilometer stretch of the street, beginning at the Dong Tan curve and ending at the Chaiyaphruek intersection.
The job is estimated to cost at least 500 million baht and get up to 19 months to complete, it was reported.
The contractor has proposed wrapping up the work sooner than anticipated, which would reduce traffic congestion, according to reports in the media.
The revised strategy is then awaiting the president’s name.
Mr Kritsana, who also operates a company on Jomtien Beach Street, said the concerns about the prospects troubles were natural.
He claimed that since the one-way customers change was instituted, vendors have seen their money decline.
He claimed that it has caused many families to leave the seashore, adding that Pattaya is where many people typically travel during the school break.
The firms may post a petition to town officers, according to Mr. Kritsana. They also plan to get compensation for their lost income, he added.
