This is nothing, wait until ASEAN happens. The Filipinos are going to OWN every service job in Thailand they are allowed to work.
Won't be surprised if Thailand backs out of ASEAN down the road after so many Thais lose their jobs to the other Asians who are going to pour in here. Thai nationalism and xenophobia is too great to allow all their neighbors to steal their jobs.

The ASEAN agreement is that "skilled workers" will be allow to work in other member countries from 2015. I suspect that when the 10 member countries have agreed a definition of skilled this will be very little impact.

Surely the final plan is not to have it lined from one end to the other with "pie in the sky" Condos or shop houses?
Or is it? There cannot be many more ex Soviet Block people left who can or even want to buy a 34 sq Mtr room here.
There are acres of land for an opportunistic, wealthy Thai to build all manner of things necessary for modern life.
Supermarket (Tesco / Big C size), Private School, Petrol stations, Hospital, modern Re-cycling plant and incinerator to produce electricity for increased demand (imagine if they burnt all the crap how clean the place would be).

The property developers seem to think that there is still a lot of steam left in the Russian condo-buying machine. We shall see.
Either way, as you say there is no shortage of space in Jomtien for a decent supermarket; the Ocean1 site would seem an obvious contender, or the plot by Chateau Dale which as far as I know was earmarked for a commercial centre years ago. Not to mention the umpteen empty hectares opposite on the Jomtien side of Pattaya Park.
They seem to have started to build something on the plot next to Chateau Dale/Royal Hill. Anyone know what it will be ?
The land has been sold to the developers of Atlantis. Hundred's of 35 sqm condos will go on sale very soon.
