Flood in Soi Bunganjanaraam Temple - Pattaya People

On Tuesday morning, Deputy Mayor Weerawat Kahkai and members of the Pattaya City Council visited Mare La-or Market on Soi Bungan-jana-raam Temple, in Jomtien.  Heavy rains had flooded the residential areas around the market and caused a great deal of damage and losses for the people.

The inspection team, led by the Deputy Mayor, found that this neighborhood was pan shaped, with the homes at the bottom of the pan. The worst hit area was inside Soi Bunganjanaraam 4, behind the Mare La-or Market, where many houses were flooded, and the water was reluctant to drain out to the sea.

Pattaya City Hall has started a project in an adjacent area to prevent flooding, using 2X2-meter-Converse Block Pipes. These pipes have been laid along Tepprasit to drain water to the sea more effectively and quickly, and this will certainly help the Bunganjanaraam area when completed in the middle of 2013.

Improving Surasak's Layout for Flood Prevention - Pattaya People

 

 

On Friday, the Surasak Municipality, led by its Mayor Akom Panchalermchai held a meeting to gather ideas to plan for improving the physical circumstances of Surasak Municipality and surrounding areas. The aim of these improvements will be preventing potential flooding, as the Meteorological Department is predicting approaching storms.

As 2011 was an expensive lesson in flood damage, officials have decided to start as soon as possible, before the storms attack again this year. The meeting agreed to set up a balance between environmental and natural surroundings, and ways to clean the drainage canals, which will be started shortly.
