WoW!  Could be  nice little earner in there for someone if he can arrange construction of a similar facility for Patts.   Sometime in the next 15 or so years if the delays while the Bangkok Bus contract conditions are re-written and re-written, are anything to judge by.   (Whatever happened over those 90 siezed busses?)

    If there was a global award for incompetency, I am pretty sure I know which country would take Gold. They have had many years to plan for this, so there is absolutely no excuse. I am pretty

    Oh dear! if you think the beach is bad now, get ready! Although you can't blame city hall. This problem should've had the decency to go away when it was ignored

Regarding the costs of such facility. How much would that be in submarines, armored anti riot vehicles and Thai Niyom Yangyeun activities?

Probably less than a sub (excluding brown envelopes), and could pay for itself (excluding corruption)...

What a wonderful idea after reading the Veolia candy coated articles.

 

Further investigation reveals unhappy endings that some believe have been there since day one. Was it not the white elephant that caught UK council officials with their hands in the register?

Pattaya has lost use of its former dump in Khao Maikaew, the Interior Ministry has barred the city from moving garbage dumped at the Soi 3 facility to other locations, the transfer facility is over capacity, garbage bins around the city are being left uncollected and city hall has bungled the contracting process for a new trash hauler. 

 

 

Sounds like everything is humming along just fine Thai style. What's the problem???  :sleep:

Oi ! Putting us sex junkies on the same page as druggies is a bit far fetched !

Is that Rich ard, or Ric hard?

There are billions of baht to work with, to find a solution to these issues. Billions. All that is required, is for a few local politicians to agree to allow some of that money to be diverted from their massive bank accounts, hedge funds, overseas investments, condo purchases, yacht purchases, Mercedes purchases, and other illegal activities, to the service of the public sector. It is a very simple solution. Lock them up!

Singapore’s Innovative Waste-Disposal System operates a power generation and recycles 98% of the city-state’s solid waste; this is all done at a PROFIT.  Now the City of Singapore is without trash problems and is making a profit on the electrical power they produce and increasing their land mass, (profit there too by selling the land), with inert materials after incineration that is environmentally green. 

Maybe Pattaya could create a similar model to fit Pattaya's population size and needs.   In the future, Pattaya could expand into phase II and began, contracting for profit, solid waste from other cities nearby to make more revenue and with the increased waste, produce more power to sell.  It could be a win-win situation.  But it will take some high power people to start the ball rolling.  

But the Singaporeans are smart that is why the country has been so successful ( accepting that it is small country) they don’t appear to have any law and order issues plus as I understand some of the toughest anti corruption legislation, which is also enforced.

RE - Pattaya losing war on trash as residents block dump site

 

The solution is simple, clear Chonburi for all living souls except the soi dogs and order a non atomic mid sized rocket from Kim Jong Sik delivered by itself adressed to the centre of Pattaya. 

The hole will be so big that it could serve the whole countrys need as a main dumping site where no sorting are required...

 

After a decade or so when the hole is fillled up to its edge with garbage then rebuild Pattaya and do the same process all over again in Samui, then in Patong, Patpong, Soi NANA, Soi Cowboy and so on - a win/win situation - drastic but effective as big problems need big solutions.... :coffee1:

Incinerators can be clean on the environment if designed and managed well...

 

Unfortunately last year Birmingham's bin men came up with a plan to get most of there pay and do nothing, meaning that Birmingham had to hire in contractors while the regulars were parked up at McDonalds, down side was recyclables were collected at the same time as the general wast and it all mixed together,  but there again we have to separate our paper from the plastics and metals but when the bin men come round they just throw the paper in with the rest, unfortunately the goons who were running the council last year got re-elected, bit like Pattaya...    

   Very incompetent City Hall.  Just endless excuses on excuses, delays on delays. Pattaya is improving but all the improvements are being done by private industry.  The city cannot even handle a basic service like trash management.

I was making an attempt at optimism. LOL.

The whole Thai rubbish problem could be solved before the end of the year unfortunately the people that have the power to make it happen want their cut, and without that it ain't gonna happen.

 

A very sad state of affairs.

Post photos of it being done!!

 

Makes accusations a fact!

Pattaya is sinking slowly!

and it's at the point of no return!

authorities are overwhelmed , unqualified, too corrupt and inexperienced to manage it.

just a big out-of-control chaos with property scams,trash, rats, overhead  wire fires,traffic, drugs, thugs, beach erosion, sewage floods and soon diseases!
