Two Floors Per Month
Did my Jomtien walk today. View Talay 7 is still growing, they are now working on the 11th floor.
I estimate that they are completing approximately two floors of external structure per month, and at this rate I predict that they will cap off the 27th floor by January 2009.
Completion 2010
Completion is scheduled for 2010. Thus they would have about one year for interior fit-out, which should be adequate considering that they supply units as a 'shell' with little interior work required.
Plot Next Door Still Overgrown
Still no development of the land on the north-side of View Talay 7. This is a large empty plot between View Talay 5 and View Talay 7. The plot remains overgrown and uncleared.
Jomtien Beach Nicer Than Pattaya Beach
It was a beautifual day today, and Jomtien Beach was looking nice. Thai people from out of town much prefer Jomtien over Pattaya, Jomtien gets far more Thai visitors than Pattaya. Most "Farangs" agree that Jomtien is much more attractive than Pattaya. However, it was low-tide while I was there and one potential problem was very apparent.
Dirty Great Big Sewage Pipe
There is a large-diameter waste-pipe running into the ocean almost directly in front of View Talay 7. The pipe runs from Thappraya Road across the beach about 100m south of View Talay 7, just to the north of the Police Box.
As far as I know, there are no sewage treatment plants in this area. They pump raw sewage into the ocean. So how far does the pipe go off-shore, and how likely is it that normal wave action - or a storm - will bring sewage ashore?
