Army angers boat owners by demolishing Bali Hai boat ramp
Operators were incensed Nov. 4 that the military decided to demolish the ramp at Bali Hai at the same time it evicted them from parking their vessels on land around the jetty.
The National Council for Peace and Order gave no reason for its decision to destroy the ramp. Instead, the military said, operators now wishing to hit the water must go to existing ramps in front of the Siam Commercial Bank or at Jomtien Soi 14.
The military had ordered boat owners to remove their trailered watercraft from the Bali Hai Parking lot and surrounding streets, saying they were encroaching on public property. All moved by the Nov. 1 deadline, finding spaces on private property or mooring them offshore.
One disgruntled owner said he has had nothing but trouble since. It’s a long journey from Pattaya to the Jomtien boat ramps, he complained. And if they have to moor offshore, their boats will be damaged.
After evicting speedboat owners from Bali Hai Pier and demolishing the public boat ramp, the military continued its campaign to reclaim public land by razing illegal shelters along Pratamnak Hill.
Maj. Gen. Yuthachai Tienthong, commander at the 14th Military Circle, led soldiers, police and Pattaya City employees in the Nov. 4 operation near the jetty.
The shelters, he said, are considered an encroachment on public land. All unpermitted structures on 18 rai of property were leveled with an eye toward making the area a public space or attraction in the future.
Once the demolition was finished, the Pattaya Engineering Department began repairing facilities damaged during the period the space was used by speedboat owners.
Sanitation workers removed trash and cleaned out sewers to eliminate bad odors and improve flood drainage.
