Jomtien beach back to pristine splendor.... until the next time

 

Picture: Manager Online

 

Manager online said that Jomtien beach was clean again after damning pictures appeared earlier in the week with tourists sunbathing among the trash.

 

They posted pictures of clean sand and workers busily picking up the mess.

 

The local authority reacted quite swiftly to a mountain of complaints as big as the trash that blew in from the sea after it flowed out following heavy rains and flooding at the resort.

 

But once again it was the rain and the floods that got the blame.

 

Nobody mentioned the people who tossed the trash out in the street in the first place.

Still, at least the local authority told the media that they are ready at all times.

 

They will have to be - the monsoon season in the Pattaya area may have a few more weeks to run yet.

Jomtien beach back to pristine splendor....until next week, would probably be a more accurate headline.

[Thian]

The pictures are already on youtube and will stay there forever.

Don't you just love the positive thinkers on this topic.....how dull life would be for people if they looked at life with nothing but doom and gloom.....thankfully none of those on here?

[jacko45k]

Wonder where they dumped all the trash.

[Airbagwill]

this reminds be of poor Sisyphus 

 

Until their is a national /international effort to address the pollution problems of the Gulf then the situation will only remain or get worse.

 

...and as asked - they might begin by considering ew=here they are putting the rubbish

I think rose-tinted spectacles are more dangerous.

This is actually a very well thought out safety feature designed so that as drunk farangs stagger down the path they will collide with the lamp-posts thus alerting them to danger and preventing them from falling in to the road and getting flattened.

Hmmm.

 

Just how frigging smart do you have to be to ask Alibaba for a quote for a beach cleaning machine, buy it and import it?

 

These babies can clean 7 + acres an hour picking up all the craps that is dropped as litter or washed in.  They even pick up cigarette ends!

 

Maybe our Chinese friends could toss one in for each submarine purchased.

... and no one noticed..

[Lumbini]

That's a different section of beach than where the pictures were taken of dirty beach Monday ... let's see the before and after of same section please . That machine could never go where Monday's pictures were taken as when they cut down the big trees in that area near the Russian market they replaced with clutters of palm trees close together ruining that beach trash or not . Don't mean to be negative just telling it like it is [emoji37]

I have learnt something today while sitting and looking at TV. I thought Sisyphus was something you caught from dirty bar stools.

Lets get real... there's a serious problem... it needs to be addressed regardless of the bandaid.

 

[Anagami]

HYSTERICAL!  How exactly is the shit-stained, ultra-polluted water 'pristine'?

 

Ah! I get it!!! Water does NOT count as a part of the beach!

 

Thai logic.

Jomtien beach back to pristine splendor.... until the next time

 

Yeah, within 72 hours.

Going back a half century or so, I can clearly remember at primary school in Australia,  being taught the basics of non-littering, and to use the (correct) bins  -   waste and re-cycling.   Besides, we got a few coins back for each empty glass bottle returned.

My kids had the same treatment, and as soon as they were walking, they started on picking up leaves.  We explained that they were nature's compost, and they knew what that was.

The throw-away system here is rather awful, as you can see behind most villages, which often look like plastic bag farms.

 

[soistalker]

It is my contention that most of the trash on the beach comes from Thais on the beach. I watch them throw trash on Jomtien Beach with the frequency of Soi dogs crapping.

Beach looks great. 

 

But what about the water quality????

 

What good is a clean beach when you get sick if you (are stupid enough to) go into the water. 

 

[SpicyMeatball]

Most civilised countries, cities, counties & by-laws have four bins for refuse; one for paper, one for plastic, one for glass & one for metals. Seems to have caught on rather diligently back home with no fuss. People now a days are becoming more respectful of the environment. 

Doubtful it ever will here.

Pristine beaches will be found elsewhere & tourist $$ will diminish from Thailand.

how simple, now to find a way to stop the sh-t

[xminator]

Thing is, they might be right about their flooding statement. It happens everywhere when there is massive flooding. People store stuff where water normally not go. Flood comes, that stuff ends up in the ocean, and no matter what it looked like it becomes trash. 

 

Of course, reduced use of plastic and quick collection for recycling of said plastic is the main thing.

 

Even so, any beach will be littered with about anything after a storm. Even nature made bio stuff looks like trash for a long time. If there is a system for collection that is good. This is where the deckchair system works. For any part of the beach that is public, there need to be a public system to clean the beach of a clean beach is what the public wants.
