For the past few months overloaded trucks have been lumbering from the excavation on 2nd road and Soi 9 to various wetlands throughout Pattaya. This week the developers proudly announced that the Central Festival Pattaya Beach project will be the biggest shopping mall by a beach in Asia.
WOW
Just what the city needed.
Another shopping mall and this time on the beach. Shopping and sun. Right in step with the royal decree for sustained development. More progress. More selling. More more more. Gimme gimme I want.
Over 750 billion baht will be spent on this project, but not a satang to clean the beach.
Then again who needs the beach when you can go shopping to suit your trendy lifestyle. The end of the world as we know it is upon us.
Goodbye Soi 8 and 7, unless they become walking streets to avoid the traffic generated by this pantheon the consumer madness.
Sorry, I can remember when we came here for the girls.
