They only care to do something about it if the complaint is made by Bill Gates or the like

Loving the editors choice of stories as of late, pumping out good content 
Glad that the light is being directed onto the right places 

Yes the original and biggest ship hole of Thailand.i shouldn't comment on the place as I've never been there but I've never heard or read about any good coming out of the place.

Indeed, it's surprising he wasn't attacked over this. Might come soon as his photo is getting spread around.

The comparison to Miami isn't  too far off.

 

Another case of TAT opening its mouth to change feet!

Pattaya,  Mafia controlled city, and this continual garbage problem proves it!

 Here was Chinese New Years Day in Pattaya. Seems like nothing has changed.

Geezer

I live on a soi just off Pattaya Klang and our garbage collection went from daily to every other day to every third day to whenever.

The residents are complaining

The rats are not.

Lemme guess.. Drinking lao khao in the shade went from every third day to every other day to daily.?

Here's London:

Yes that's London in a few hours of tourist traffic.  My guess is that will be empty in a few hours not days.

I think they mean Miami circa 1978

The government officials would say this is a one off incident. The people of Pattaya would not have done that for sure!

You should see it in the non tourist areas especially where Roma live or 'travellers' have been staying.

I could have sworn that I've seen members' posts deleted when they badmouth Patty... now this. I'm so confused....

Me too.  What comments are expected?

• Oo look at the nice pile of rubbish, so neatly stacked
• Definitely left by dirty tourists, thankfully quality tourist numbers are on the rise and this will result in less rubbish on the streets
• Pattaya clean-up led by conscientious motor-bike taxi drivers achieves amazing results

 

Perplexed.

 

The amount of dirt just keeps piling up.
Do YOU ever see cleaner/workers?
Nope - Thais do not care.
The ONLY care about MONEY.

pattaya soi 16/2 in front of main entrance centarra  5 star to naklua...

 

250meter stretch of rubbish, smelling and rats.

 

since YEARS !!!   any complains to city, results in a minimal cleanup (tahnks for even doing !) , but a day later the same situation again and again.............

 

not only there manly in any soi, except the main streets

I walked past this stinking mountain of mess yesterday and wondered if it came from the wat.

What is a Wat ?

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.

Pattaya will be lucky to get above the one star rating.

  55555 :)   It's about time that WE did the pointing for a change...   

Pattaya - trumpeted in TAT handouts as Asia's Miami - is once again in the news for one of its unkept secrets - rubbish. 

I remember when BJ set up his  brush arbor under the palm trees with 5 stools to sit at the 6 foot long bar.We were drinking on the road side away from the beach in the afternoon watching two Thai families enjoying the beach.There were a couple of litter cans on the beach side of the road.When the two families left they passed  a litter can but just discarded all their trash between their eating area and the road .Since most of the Farangs drinking with BJ had spent their earlier years in Japan,to us this was a learning experience of how trashy the Thais are.Thais WILL NEVER change.

This site is from outside Wat Chai in Pattaya Tai, and is rubbish that is thrown in a heap by the Market Traders on the opposite side of the road.

However, what the photo does not depict, is the awful stench from the rotting vegetables Etc, and all along the Street from the main entrance to the Wat, to the Bank there is the stink of Urine.

This will have nothing at all to do with the Tourists, or the Monks that inhabit the Wat, but is probably caused by the late night drinkers and the Moto Taxi Drivers that throng the area.

Altogether, a cess pit.

Usually, monks throw garbage directly over the wat s wall

Is it below the monks to pick up rubbish from outside of their home? 

Free home, free food, free clothes, smokes, mobile phones. Plenty of cash offerings. 

Can leave when ever they want to do. 

Not exactly as if they raise a sweat is it? 

 

Silly question I suppose. 

If the Thai people who put it there won't clean up. The monks sure as, are not going to do it either. 

It was ripe yesterday. 

Thais will change when tickets and fines are handed out for throwing trash in the street or littering in general. Pattaya actually could be a 5 star resort if the people in charge actually cleaned the place up and kept it pristine.  That would involved daily garbage collection; a waste treatment plant; cleanup of the sea and beach; elimination of scams; moving the sex industry further into the shadows; restraining  police corruption and cracking down on the criminal element that calls Pattay home. I doubt it will ever happen.  A once beautiful resort has literally been destroyed.

For reasons unknown to me, Pattaya never appealed to me even back in the seventies.

It stayed this way until now.

If I like to go to a beach I visit Vietnam, and so far I haven' t come across similar scenes. Plus a mere 2 h drive gives me the serenity of cool mountain air. I fail to see the hype about Pattaya.

Is it the news summer hole?

??? come on TAT.... thinking cap time. I’m sure there’s a unique opportunity here for one of those daft reality TV shows.

 

maybe something involving proffessional garbage collectors on holiday, showing how it’s done, within a one hour time slot.

 

I would rather hang out near that pile of garbage than go to Miami again !!!

Good for entertaining the kids on their family holiday spot the rats and whoever spots the most gets a free ice cream without a wrapper 

frankly i think this story is trash
