Trash crisis, sewage top Pattaya residents’ concerns

PATTAYA:--Pattaya’s environmental woes topped the list of grievances as residents got their first chance to comment on the city’s draft four-year development plan.

 

Deputy Mayor Vichien Pongpanit chaired the Feb. 12 public hearing, the first open to the general public to give input on what needs to be fixed in Pattaya.

 

While flooding and traffic always topped the public’s priority list in previous hearings for previous development plans, Pattaya’s current garbage crisis and sewage leaks proved the top concerns for the 2019-2022 plan.

 

Pattaya is struggling to dispose of all its garbage and residents are angry about overflowing transfer sites in three neighborhoods, a 50-ton trash backlog on Koh Larn and ad hoc dumps springing up on roadsides across the region.

 

The public’s concern over the environment – including sewage backups that have fouled Pattaya Beach – stands in stark contrast to the worries of bureaucrats who suggested, at their hearing last month, that traffic, road accidents and drug use among youths should be the city’s top priorities.

Polite smile but unfortunately its goes in one ear and out the other.....

Drug fueled youth and bin stuffing is high on some residents priority list...

A troll/derogatory post has been removed

As one that has never hidden a desire for the attempt to remake Pattaya into some sort of Riviera on Pattaya Bay to fail, this is all music to my ears.

Were it not for city hall incompetence the Pattaya I love would have vanished long ago, replaced by "boutique" hotels ( cheap hotels with a coat of paint and increased prices ), fast food eateries, tourist t shirt shops and up market bars replacing every bar beer.

Traffic has to be NO 1 priority.

 

All those Chinese Tourists have to be trollied around from one outlet to another, so roads that are not congested will help them spend their money quicker

Surely not "the general public to give input on what needs to be fixed in Pattaya".  I thought it was too many dartboards, games of Bridge, songthaew not using proper routes or stops and lots of genuinely serious issues.
