Geologist speaks out about mistakes made in construction of Klong Wan port near Hua Hin
A leading former geologist at Chula university and councillor in Prachuap Khiri Khan said that the construction of the Klong Wan port in Muang district was a case study in most things that could go wrong.
It was a dreadful waste of 430 million baht of harbor department money, said Thiwa Suphajanya.
Environmental impact studies were not properly made for the port that was finished in 2008.
It has silted up and is now largely unusable.
In addition the sea walls and construction has changed the sea patterns resulting in more money needed to be thrown at repairing damage caused by erosion to the shore.
Wisdom of fisherman whose opinions were ignored in the rush to construct the port was another point in the mistakes that were made, reported Talk News Online.
