Pattaya officials find they can’t ignore Koh Larn’s crumbling infrastructure any longer

KohLarn:--The bill has come due for Pattaya City Hall, which sat back for decades and watched Koh Larn explode into the area’s biggest tourist draw without investing in adequate waste management, sewage treatment or water supplies.

 

Mayor Anan Charoenchasri and top deputies and department heads toured the resort island Jan. 10 to investigate the chorus of complaints about Koh Larn’s crumbling infrastructure as well as reports of rampant public-land encroachment.

 

What officials found was an island drowning in garbage yet dying of thirst. Supplier East Water Co. delivers 300 cu. meters of filtered sea water to the island a day, but that’s not enough to meet the demands of Koh Larn’s approximately 2,900 residents and 10,000-20,000 daily tourists.

 

The island also is struggling to dispose of the water it does receive. There are two small sewage-treatment plants on the island at Samae and Tawan beaches, but Koh Larn produces more sludge than they can process.

 

Then, of course, is the long-running crisis with solid waste, which has resulted in Koh Larn sitting on 50,000 tons of stinking, rotting garbage it cannot dispose of.

As usual they only want to make money and not spend money. After everyone stops going to Koh Larn they will wonder what went wrong?

Can thank the Chinese tour agents for that. It's not as though the package tourists get the choice- just told where to go.

The greed from the top just keeps getting deeper and deeper.  All the money that has been spent by tourists and nothing to show for it.
