I don't pay much attention to Pattaya beach, as when I visit a beach, it's Dongtan beach. However, on the last visit, I thought it looked a lot wider than before, so presumably they widened it as implied in this video ?

If they are widening it, then it would seem prudent to arrange drainage to take floodwater away from the beach. Perhaps this is what they started with the roadworks in the streets around Boyztown ?

Moi aussi.
I've never returned to Pattaya beach after discovering verdant Dongtan beach sans vehicular traffic.
Unfortunately about a fortnight ago the sea was very choppy with flotsam and jetsam brought in by the persistent winds, which failed to subside even after pouring libations for Poseidon and the God of the four winds.
I shall return.
