Officials ignore irony of telling residents to dispose of trash properly

PATTAYA:--City Hall, which has failed to secure a new trash hauler or dumpsite, apparently didn’t see the irony when it warned residents to dispose of their garbage properly after recent storms paved Pattaya streets with garbage.

 

Plastic bags, foam food boxes, empty bottles, paper and other waste littered the city following floods resulting from four steady days of rain in late April. City officials said the garbage tide is becoming a common thing due to residents’ carelessness.

 

The trash, city hall pointed out, only exacerbates flooding as the waste clogs drains, many of which were packed with waste when city workers lifted street grates May 2.

ok we all know thais are  messy buggers, but clean the dam drains, when i lived in Phra Khanong, you should have seen the crap to just come out of one manhole, it was 3 feet high.

As you can see on the pic, two "residents" are trying to sort the mess.

 

proper rubbish collections would help 

Is always the same, none of the authorities people take the responsibility for the bad work they do.

Dear Khun Surachet is your turn, these peoples are the real criminals.

Start take responsibility for your jobs and make a better garbish  collection system Pattaya flooding in rubbish 

Just sailed in from Koh Phai today. The water was littered with garbage, worse than I have seen for ages. Plastic debris being the largest component. This has to stop. Someone, somewhere with authority and an (at least partially) altruistic nature has to be found, surely?

My observation is that if there was a garbage bin every 20 metres the locals are too lazy to open the lid, or walk a short distance to the bin - instead they throw the garbage wherever they are at the moment.

In Pattaya and Jomtien, I watched the garbage truck stop at a mountain of garbage, they

found bags with bottles in them , took those bags and left the rest. That happened for

3 days in a row, before there must have been enough complaints that the rest was finally

cleaned up properly. That is why I thnk the mafia has the garbage contract.

Geezer

Well they got more of it yesterday as it poured down again!

After hiring a bargain-basement trash hauler that refuses to invest in more trucks and staff, 

You pay peanuts you get monkeys.......How about returning some of the backhanders  to the coffers and pay for a professional service......or does a city official own the company that got the latest contract.......

Just looking for course material to teach at their English language school.

The authorities get enough income annually to manage these problems....but they steal it!

I think they're window shopping.

Thai Mafia is different. They may have some skills to organize, but a lot just

wing it and are really just Thugs. Many back grounds and people from all over

the country, as well as expats from else where. That is the mafia I am referring to

not the notorious mafias of Italy and Russia etc.
