So when the street in Jomtien needs new pavement/asphalt the government doesn’t pay but the private owner? YES
Jomtien Complex and Sunee (and Day/Night Plaza) are big chunks of land owned, operated, and maintained by a private business. Encroachment of public spaces is not an issue because there are none.
In Boyztown, the streets and sidewalks are public and subject to management by City Hall.
