An ordinary life in an extra-ordinary place
Lies, damn lies, and property development maps
The Beaches development near Bang Saray is keen to emphasise that it is located conveniently close to Pattaya. Check the map, looks like you could easily walk from The Beaches into Jomtien:
It’s bollocks. Pattaya Park to Bang Saray is at least a twenty minute drive, and that’s if you get a move on and are lucky with all the traffic lights and don’t mow down any motorbikes en route.
Here’s the map superimposed onto Google Earth. Notice the rather extensive piece of coastline which has conveniently been missed out from the map of The Beaches.
The Beaches appears to be an ambitious, quality development. But if they can’t even be honest about the location……

It would seem they can’t even be honest about the size of the beach. Their map infers there is one about several hundred yards wide down the entire coastline!

You are, of course, quite right j. I stand corrected. My only excuse is that I was tired and confused at the time!!
