Pattaya a world class resort? There should be lifeguards say Thais as Russian man drowns

 

 

Thais have called for lifeguards to be posted on Pattaya beach after a Russian man drowned there on Tuesday morning.

 

A member of the public was able to bring the man,aged about 50, to the shore but despite the efforts of the authorities he could not be revived.

 

He had been missing for about 15 minutes, reported We Love Pattaya on Facebook.

 

A western woman at the scene was seen grief stricken as the victim was covered up.

 

Many Thai posters expressed their condolences but some suggested that a resort of Pattaya's standing should have lifeguards in place for tourists.

 

Bank Aunvong said: "This supposed world class resort has no budget for a life guard to look after tourists? Wait until they all leave before doing something about it".

 

While Pisat Lanla said: "There should be someone sitting high up observing the sea like they have in foreign countries".

Pattaya is not a world class resort 

And few years ago they put lifeguard tower up but never use it 

To mush corruption in City Hall

People go in the water here? 

[Golden Triangle]

Did he drown or was he poisoned by the clear blue waters of the gulf 

 

RIP mate, to young to go 

[fakename]

A symbol of Thailand, build life guard towers and not use them. Put up lights for pedestrians, and not use them! Traffic lights, and not use them, east side. All good ideas, then scrape off the money.

Pattaya Beach has designated swimming areas, so someone to patrol the area to keep swimmers out of boating areas and some towers in the swimming areas wouldn't be difficult at all. In their spare time when no one is swimming they could write up fines for smoking.

No the open drains into sea are in Phuket, another world class resort where it's far from safe.

[canuckamuck]

A proper lifeguard wouldn't let people get in the water there.

But they would be writing so many fines that the commission and or quota would be so high they would never look up and pay attention to the sea.

Pattaya - a 3rd world class resort.

[Emster23]

Jomtien has 4 or 5 full time lifeguards. You can see them gathered together, all hours of the day, looking at their cell phones, facing away from the sea, near Soi 6.

[RichardColeman]

Has to be more to this story. I'm 54 and a fairly good swimmer and the sea here in Pattaya is not exactly a rip tide. Probably come back full of Vodka.

[mickymouse1]

Can we just Say yes to save me the F headache about this trash resort???

[manhood]

Pattaya is as many places in Thailand just a dump hole and authoroties not care about anything then filling up their pocklets as much as they can.

Some drown tourists...who cares.TAT is having  soon a new marketing slogan the trashed beaches!

I wonder somebody still put his feet in that dirty water!

I see them every day, going to Surf Kitchen restaurant for their food. I have never seen any of them in the sea.. Usually in their office or chatting on the pavement... I'm not sure that any of them would know what to do in the event of an emergency

[lvr181]

They have well trained lifeguards at Patong but bloody dumb tourists take no notice of them or the beach signs!

 

Not going to work in Pattaya or elsewhere either, unless the only tourists are from western world countries that have such a system in place where it is understood. Maybe good window dressing/face saving but that is about all. 

 

Don't know anything about the Jomtien ones but it sure sounds/reads unworkable there.

You're so right manhood.

World class resort?Do me a favour.Glad I made the move up to Phitsanulok 15 years ago.Pattaya was bad enough then,hence the move North,and a move I've never regretted.

[mikebell]

No lifeguards; no police force; no road safety; no hope.

[Media1]

Honestly these people should not enter the water. God dam.man. it's not Bells beach lol. There's hardly a ripple..

Thais can't swim so don't enter period

Russians can go home ice skating

Next

I'd be more worried about them turning me on my stomach to give me some new form of penetrating life saving therapy  !

LOL. They can't use those lifeguard towers as they are made of metal and would be too hot to sit on. No doubt a nice earner for someone though.

The only thing they need to do is put up signs in several languages warning that swimming there is a hazard to life and health. Swimming in sewage is never a good idea.

If someone still wants to do so it's on their own head.

He may also have suffered a heart attack. It's the number one cause of death in the world (eg. in the US 1 in 4 deaths), so once in a while, it could happen while people are out swimming. I doubt they will report on the results of the autopsy, so we'll never know. The media just wants to have us all jump to conclusions to suit their story.
