Amusement Park Next To View Talay 7

So Now We Know...

For a year or more we have been wondering what would transpire with the large prime - and up until now undeveloped - plot of beach-front land between the View Talay 5 and View Talay 7 condominium buldings in Jomtien, Thailand.

It's Going To Be An Amusement Park

I have it on good authority that the land has been purchased by a foreign company. It is already being cleared, all that remains is a small wooden house and a few trees. Plan call for a fun-fair type amusement park with rides.

How High? How Big? How Long Until Built?

No additional information yet, watch this space!

What Does It All Mean?

There should be no impact on condo-units on the Jomtien (South) side of the building. However, on the Pattaya (North) side:

  • Depending on the height of the new construction, ocean-views may or may not be affected.
  • Depending on the hours of operation, noise from the rides will surely be an issue.
  • Owners of units on the North-side may be disappointed if they intend to live in their units, but those that intent to rent out their units may find many potential customers due to the entertainment next door.

At this stage, there are more questions than answers.
