Popular Post snoop1130 Posted May 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2018 Here's your world class family destination - Pattaya farang tourist does the pointing! Pattaya showed once again that it has a way to go before it can be considered a world class resort like the TAT would have tourists believe. Our picture seems to suggest that the foreigner pointing at a huge pile of trash in the downtown area might be saying: "Miami this isn't!" Pattaya - trumpeted in TAT handouts as Asia's Miami - is once again in the news for one of its unkept secrets - rubbish. We Love Pattaya said on Facebook that their reporters had been called in after more damning evidence damaging the image of the resort. They said they were called in by residents and tourists to investigate a mountain of stinking trash blocking the road by the temple of Wat Chai Mongkhon near the fresh food market. They called it a perennial problem that the authorities are ignoring. There is always trash at this point and it is a fly infested health hazard and a monstrous eyesore, they said, using similarly graphic Thai language to explain the mess. They called on the Pattaya authorities to do something - quick. Source: -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2018-5-2 3 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post skorp13 Posted May 3, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2018 Pattaya is never going to be a 5 star family tourist destination. Got to give the TAT lots of creit, i don't know who makes the brochures that keep them flocking in by the droves but they deserve a raise. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilton, Holiday Inn and Sheraton obviously think it worthy, and these hotels do quite well. Get inside these places and you actually could be anywhere. Surely someone can report where this mountain of trash comes from, the Wat, despite being more commercial than a Wat should be, seems unlikely, but the nearby markets must be contenders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The local council might be very bad at picking your waste up, but they're extremely good at fining you if you contravene one of their many regulations. Actually, I think they're talking about 3 week collections now - madness. exactly If the market produces this much rubbish on a daily/hourly basis then there should be a facility provided to collect it Daily/hourly instead of just throwing it in the street - it is littering on a grand scale 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post NextStationBangkok Posted May 3, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2018 The garbage cans are full of cans. Plastic drink cups and straws are the real problem of the world. People's attitude is once you throw the garbage in dustbin, it is not your problem anymore. We never know when it will come back to our plates again. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deluge on Monday was the worst I can remember. As a footnote, praise is due to the makers of my Honda BRV. Despite the tide mark being half way up my front grill; despite my exhaust pipe being under water; the car kept going and did not ship any water inside. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is I was watching the TV one evening and the story was about all the volunteers cleaning up the klongs and streets of Bangkok. All praise to the efforts of all, but right then one of the volunteers opens a bottle of water and without a thought discards the plastic and lid straight into the area they had just cleaned. 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlQaholic Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 When I first came to Thailand, we dumped our trash just on the other side of the street. Then once in a week or so we would burn it. Now for the past few years, I actually see real garbage trucks roaming around on the streets, amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
