one-way traffic on Soi Bua Khao

One slight flaw in the article. It doesn't say which direction the traffic will flow. I am guessing it is Pattaya Tai to Pattaya Klang. If you are there, please either confirm or correct.

Pattaya pilots one-way traffic in Soi Bua Khao to ease congestion

By Pattaya Mail

November 15, 2025

Pattaya City has begun piloting a one-way traffic system in Soi Bua Khao as part of its effort to tackle traffic congestion in the area sustainably. Similar trials have already been implemented in other alleys across the city.

Residents shared their thoughts on the project. Some pointed out that while the one-way system is beneficial, vendors with sidecars often park along the alley, which can block traffic. Others agreed that the plan is needed, as the alley is notorious for congestion. Some tourists and locals noted that passenger vehicles are rerouting from the mouth of the alley, which can sometimes worsen traffic in certain sections.

City officials emphasized that public feedback will play a key role in shaping the final traffic management plan, aiming to improve the flow of vehicles while balancing the needs of residents, businesses, and visitors.

How will they collect that feedback ? The article doesn't mention this, which is odd considering it's supposed to be paying a key role in shaping the final plan.

Rather than improve traffic flow, the objective should be to virtually eliminate traffic flow in order to meet the needs of residents, businesses and visitors. Pedestrianize it.
