Work Halted on Waterfront Suites and Residence Pattaya

You can't help but notice the latest lego construction rising from close to the beach in South Pattaya near the illuminated Pattaya sign. The nearly finished building has also caught the attention of Khun Wasan The Acting Head of Building Control for Pattaya City Council.

The Waterfront Suites and Residence a 53-story condominium and hotel project at Bali Hai Pier has been inspected many times and found to be allegedly in contravention to several local building regulations. It has been found that fire escapes and elevators are different to those that appear on the construction plans. Local residents are furious that the building is blocking their views of the bay and from another perspective from downtown Pattaya the building is blocking of the Hollywood style Pattaya sign on the hill on the promitory.

Khun Itthipol The Mayor of Pattaya has instigated an investigation. Work on the site has been suspended until the outstanding legal matters can be resolved. Dejavu View Talay 7 and the legal battles with Jomtien Complex. That time it was a 27 story building built 100 meters away from the beach when the building regulations stipulated that only 4 story buildings were allowed. Now 58 storeys. Sounds like same old same old story.
