The only appalling state of affairs in Pattaya is to do with the lack of visitors. What might the Junta do about that?

I wouldn't want people to die/be hurt but the water table that close to the ocean must not be any more than a few feet below the surface.

Setting the foundation for that thing must be one hell of a feat of engineering. I'd trust a Western Engineering firm to do it, and a Western City's building inspectors to be certain it's done right, but Thai builders in Pattaya?

Foundations weren't a problem. They were blessed by a bunch of blokes in saffron dresses.

Pattaya isn't busy anymore ? I'll check some live walking street cams

Surely it could be several hundred feet below the surface if there is a cliff involved?

I don't know - just saying proximity to the ocean doesn't have to mean the water table is near the surface.
