Wednesday ‘beach cleaning day’ dirtiest of week

PATTAYA:--One reason Pattaya’s administrators banished chairs and umbrellas from beaches every Wednesday was to use the day to get the shoreline clean again. As it turns out, it’s dirtier that day than any other.

 

A stroll along Jomtien Beach late March 28 found the beachfront littered with garbage that beach chair vendors normally would pick up. The litter lingers until morning when the operators return.

 

It has been 2½ years since the order to remove chairs once a week came down and people are still debating whether it’s worth it. Half of beachgoers surveyed bemoan the lack of shade and easily obtained refreshments. The other half, carrying their own mats and towels, like the natural look of the shoreline.

The idea of actually employing someone  on a Wednesday to clear up the garbage normally collected by the Chair operators has clearly, even after 2 and a half years, not yet dawned on anyone at the council then.

They do employ many people on Wednesday to clean up...that's the whole ( silly) point of not having chairs that day so the council workers can clean the beach....it seems they either don't do a good job or there is not enough of them  to cope with the enormous amount of rubbish  left on the beach or washed up by the tide every single day...

 

The deck chair vendors  owe it to them self to keep their patch clean and they do a good job...but they don't clean up  outside their designated area  who can blame them for that.

 

Pattaya city must make millions of baht everyday from tourist spending  why do they not have a full time dedicated team of beach cleaners just cleaning the beach every single day 

(not the already overworked street sweepers)
and a fleet of beach cleaning machines.

 

Yes I know they do have a machine seen here in Jomtien.

a couple of months ago on Jomtien beach there were hordes of beach cleaners didnt have a bloody clue, just wandering about in no order, one following behind another instead of fanning out, it was a joke to watch, in fact i took a photo. its not rocket science, or maybe it is to them. its not as if the beach is very wide, 

i will add fair play to the vendors in my neck of the beach every day they rake the beaches outside of their pitch

Fetishist!!! 

They will find a strategy to sell the issue in a positive way:

Seems like a good idea for community service for hoodlums to me.

Instead of giving 500BHT fines to the riff raff Wend beach clean up instead.

What do they do with the trash they collect....? I ask because I recall watching them in the past and often they simply threw the rubbish into the sea.

You can't get the police to do their day job; they'd never stoop to picking up litter.

I guarantee that trash is coming downstream from all the rivers and klongs in Thailand, just like the smog in Chiang Mai is coming from upwind.

I live here over 10years beach vendor not cleaning only waiting for the litter drifting down to the next vendor I a vendor cleaning it is only where the chair have to be they completely lazy and for the government people they hired to clean is a joke they're to lazy or stupid to see the garbish

yeah but the big boys dont have the brains to think of this !!!

I was wondering if I signed up people to join me at the beach to collect rubbish and then send it to the land fill dump if that would be ok or counted as working without permit and we'd be in trouble. I'll ask next time at immigration but if you are there before me please ask. And if you would like to join the rubbish club let me know.

maybe koto can nail up signs on every tree.Wait,he already did that.Thailand,we got trash nailed to trees

collect rubbish and then send it to the land fill dump

And if you would like to join the rubbish club let me know.

Still waiting for the answer as to where is the official Pattaya landfill site where we can take all the recyclables etc.

Immigration don't deal with work permits
the Labour department does...

I would imagine a single individual picking up rubbish on the beach wouldn't have a problem but it gets a bit grey when someone organises a mass cleanup...someone might get annoyed that it shows those responsible for keeping the place clean in a bad light.

Anyway I decline your invitation to clean up after the people who say they love their country but insist on throwing rubbish all over it....ohh and where is the Pattaya refuse /recycling site ?

I once got a baht bus full of concrete bags to take me to the rubbish dump.

Sorry I forgot where it is and I can't easily find it in google maps.

I recommend quizzing the local baht bus drivers.

I paid 500 baht to take a full load of concrete on the back of one of those babies.

It did look like an official dump.

If you join to clean up the beach with me maybe you could overlook that we are cleaning a country and that we are cleaning the planet.

The thing that stops me from getting exercise outside in the sun and doing a good deed is fear of being arrested.  I still will follow up what immigration have to say. haha and see if they will give me a visa for it. lol. Maybe they will pay for the garbage bags.
