Thailand’s Pacific Shore Developments claims it is in the process of developing the country’s largest integrated beach resort and theme park complex and the world’s first “cyber beach city”, investing upwards of 20 billion baht (US$640 million) within the next seven years.

The project covers a 32-hectare plot of land, located on Bang Saray Bay, about 15 minutes by car south of Pattaya or one-and-a-half hours drive from Bangkok. The first phase of construction is slated to begin early next year and to be completed by 2012, while the entire complex is expected to be completed by 2015.

The first phase of development, covering 14 hectares, will cost about six billion baht. The investment will be spent on a 490-room luxury hotel, a twin condominium/hotel building with 720 keys, a cluster of 32 private villas, a spa and wellness complex, an Amazon Falls Water Theme Park by White Water West Industries, man-made beaches and lagoons, a dedicated convention centre for 3,000 people and sport and lifestyle facilities.

Pacific Shore chairman and CEO, Mr. Liakat Dhanji, ambitiously said he was hoping to position the project to be on par with glamorous seaside destinations such as The Italian Riviera. He said he was looking at engaging The Ritz Carlton or Hyatt International to manage the 490-room luxury hotel.
