PATTAYA, Thailand – The Pattaya City Engineering Office issued a progress report on May 8 regarding the ongoing construction project for the third phase of the Eastern Region Sports Complex in Soi Chaiyapruek, East Pattaya, highlighting significant advancements and meticulous monitoring efforts.
With an initial duration of 820 days, the construction project has been underway for 222 days, leaving 598 days remaining.
